Morgan, who neither smokes or
drinks alcohol, says he has no prob
lem keeping his 6 ' - l " frame strong
and lean. He does a routine set of
exercises each day which includes
push-ups to keep his muscles trim.
As a result he lifts his female partner
with such graceful ease she appears
to weigh no more than thistle down.
The best advice from Morgan to
aspiring young dancers? “ Find a
ballet teacher that will be honest
with you about your talent. Take
private lessons, or in a small class,
and work hard.**

Edward Morgan, currently the only
black dancer with the famed Joffrey
Ballet, which played “ Taming of
the Shrew” at the Portland Civic
this past week.
Born and reared in San Antonio,
Texas, Morgan, since high school,
knew what he wanted his career to
be. "N obody had to drag me to
dance lessons," he said. “ Rather,
my parents gave in to me and let me
train in several types o f dancing —
tap, acrobatic and others and then
on to ballet.
“ M y mother is a musician and she
understood, but she wanted me to
be a pianist. I play the piano a little,
but I like the flute better. I really
like the flute.
"A fte r high school I went over to
the Dallas Black Dance Theatre and
spent two summers with Director
Ann W illiams. W hile I was there
M r. Robert Joffrey saw me and in
vited me to come to New York on a
scholarship he arranged for me. I
was young,’ * Morgan laughed,
“ and I was eager to go. but my
parents said *no.’ They didn’t
want me to go to the big city alone
to become a ballet dancer. So I
stayed in Dallas another year and
took private lessons there.
“ But I didn’ t give up my dream,”
Morgan went on. “ I worked hard
and hoped they would recognize the
opportunity I had. The next year,
M r. Joffrey came back to Dallas
and he offered a scholarship to me
again. And this time, I told my
parents they would have to let me
go. They did, and I have been with
the Joffrey since I979. I joined
Joffrey I in October o f 1981 and I
loved every minute o f it.

and Los Angeles now and my
