TV Cable of Carlisle will donate time to broadcast them on its system starting in early July. Surprise dancers to appear A scheduling problem for a Russian dance troupe has given Carlisle residents a chance to see the team perform free of charge Saturday night. When the Rodnichok Dance Collective had a scheduled performance fall through, Nancy Mendes, coordinator of the group's Harrisburg-area visit, sought a replacement venue. She found one at Carlisle Theatre. The troupe is from Vorkuta, a city north of the Arctic Circle.
Members perform contemporary ballet, modern jazz and lyrical and Siberian folk dances.
Some of the 21 dancers are descendants of people the late Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin banished to Siberia, Ms. Mendes says. More information is available by calling Gerald Robertson at 243-8325.
