DANCE

Twenty-five international ballet performers, including Soviet and expatriate Soviet dancers, performed in Brussels Sunday in an AIDS gala benefit dance. Bolshoi Ballet dancers Ludmilla Semenyaka and Yuri Posochov and Kirov stars Irinia Kolpakova and Sergei Berejnoi were on the program, as well as Natalia Makarova, an ex-Kirov performer who now lives in the West, and Eva Evdakimova, another Soviet expatriate. The guests, who all waived their fees, interpreted some of the most famous solos or duos of classical and modern ballet and came together for the finale, led by Koen Onzia from the Ballet of Flanders. American ballerina Eileen Brady addressed the crowd, dedicating her performance to her brother, who died from AIDS, and to all AIDS victims. The sold-out benefit staged in Brussels Royal Indoor Circus raised an estimated 3.5 million francs, or $100,000. The show was the idea of Dr. Peter Van Breusegem, a Belgian general practitioner who a year ago founded the Belgian AIDS Foundation, and Belgian choreographer Luc De Layress. Sponsors of the program included Belgian government ministers, university professors, scientists and ballet directors.
