West Knox ballerina dances her way to NYC By Wendy Smith
Melody Nehls of West Knoxville has danced since she was 3, and planned for a professional dance career since the 8th grade. She’s taken another step toward that goal by participating in a two-week intensive program with the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City.

T
he school was founded in 1953 by Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino. The ground-breaking Joffrey Ballet was the fi rst company to perform at the White House, the fi rst to perform on television, and the only ballet company to appear on the cover of Time magazine. Nehls spent five to eight hours dancing each day of the program, which ended Labor Day weekend. An audition won her the opportunity to participate alongside dancers from around the world. Students were in high school and college, and some were year-round students at the school. Nehls is a CAK graduate, and while she was growing up, she took classes at Dancer’s Studio and Studio Arts for Dancers. She also had roles in several productions with the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet Association. This was Nehls’ fourth trip to New York City, so she had already visited many typical tourist haunts, like the Empire State Building. Her biggest adventure this time around was an outing to Coney Island, where she rode the famous Cyclone roller coaster. It was fun, she said, but painful. She skipped the famous Coney Island hot dog.
“I’m not a big hot dog person.” That doesn’t mean that the slim dancer turns down all junk food. In fact, she made a habit of grabbing snacks at nearby bakeries and pastry shops. Her favorites were run by Italians who said, “Ciao!” when she walked out the door. “We don’t have anything like that in Knoxville, and I love dessert,” she says. Because of her intense dance schedule, Nehls didn’t take in much of the Big Apple’s night life, but she did enjoy catching “The Phantom of the Opera.” By the end of her stay, Nehls was looking forward to getting back to Tennessee, where she will have a short break before beginning her sophomore year as a ballet major at the University of Cincinnati. She’s not really a big-city person, she says. “It’s always noisy. There are honking horns and sirens, and there are really odd people out on the streets.” That’s why she doesn’t aspire to have a New York dancing career. She’d prefer to join a regional ballet company in a not-so-big city like Louisville, Ky., or Atlanta, Ga. She’s not particular – as long as she gets to dance. “You pretty much go wherever they’ll take you,” she says.

astel pink, pretty pink or hot pink? Some pedicure decisions change with the season, but others, including the tools and methods used to perform a pedicure, should remain constant. A safely performed pedicure, either at home or in the salon, is essential for feet that look and feel great. The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) offers several pedicure pointers that will keep your feet and your pink, polished toenails healthy.
of fungus. Leave polish off for a day or two between pedicures, to allow air to get to the nail surface. Keep feet soft and moisture in balance by applying an emollientenriched moisturizer. Dry feet completely. Moisture left between the toes can promote the development of fungal infections. Look for foot-friendly products that have been given the APMA’s Seal of Acceptance or Approval. These have been evaluated by podiatrists and found to be beneficial to foot health.
Salon pedicures
Do-it-yourself pedicures Use a pumice stone, foot file or exfoliating scrub to remove dry, rough skin. This tends to build up on the heels, balls and sides of the feet. Soak your feet in warm water for at least 5 minutes before gently smoothing away unwanted skin. Use toenail clippers with a straight edge to cut nails straight across. Other cutting tools, such as manicure scissors, can increase the risk of ingrown nails, particularly if using them to cut out the edges of nails. Smooth and round nail edges using an emery board. Clean under nails gently with a wooden or rubber manicure stick. Never use metal or sharp objects to clean beneath nails. Use a rubber cuticle pusher or liquid remover to gently push back cuticles, but don’t overdo it. Cuticles serve as a protective barrier against bacteria, so don’t cut them. Do not leave nail polish on for extended periods of time, as this may encourage the growth

Some pedicure decisions change with the season, but others, including the tools and methods used to perform a pedicure, should remain constant.
Be safe and bring your own pedicure tools. Shared pedicure instruments can spread bacteria and fungus if they have not been properly cleaned. Forgo shaving your legs right before your pedicure. Freshly shaved legs may have small cuts that can allow bacteria to enter your skin. Shave a couple of days prior to your pedicure and don’t sweat the stubble – your pedicurist has probably seen it all. Don’t allow technicians to remove dead skin with a foot razor – it can result in permanent damage if used incorrectly and can easily cause infection if the technician removes too much skin. Avoid leaving the salon in the fl imsy slip-ons. They don’t provide adequate support or protection once you’ve exited the salon. Monitor any nicks or abrasions that you may have received. Pain lasting longer than several days or any signs of infection should be seen and treated immediately by a podiatrist, the foot and ankle expert. Keep these podiatrist-approved pedicure safety tips in mind and you’ll step out in style and good health. As for deciding which shade of pink polish to apply, you’re on your own. – ARA

O! Contemporary Dance Works, a local nonprofit contemporary dance company, will present both new and revisited works at the Clarence Brown Theatre at 2:30 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 9. GO! is known not only for its innovative choreographic works and high caliber dancers, but also for the ability to attract choreographers from across the globe to Knoxville. At the October performance, GO! will premiere a new work by Rebecca Evans, a contemporary dancer from the United Kingdom who has created “Skin of the Earth,” an athletic and intense work using seven dancers to defi ne the shaping and refi ning of relationships. “It was fantastic having Ms. Evans here at the studio working with our dancers this summer,” says artistic director Lisa Hall McKee. “Although she is busy touring in the U.K., she was able to come set up a new work at GO! and was so pleased with the technical and artistic ability of our young dancers. She is used to working at a professional level, so she was thrilled our dancers could handle her level of work with great aptitude. It is great that GO! can bring artistic influences from other areas of the world to Knoxville. Her piece is intricate and very intense emotionally. It takes you on quite the ride.” GO! will also revisit “The Runaway,” which premiered in 2009 at the Bijou Theatre. “It was so well received by this community that we just have to do it again,” says McKee. “The Runaway” is a 40-minute contemporary work that delves into the subcultures surrounding a runaway teenager that includes scenes with basketball gangs, dumpster divers, bums

I don’t like my dancers being ‘in a bubble’ with dance.

GO! is not for the average dance goer. “No nutcrackers here,” McKee says. “These are all original and thought-provoking works designed for our audience which are usually more risk taking when it comes to dance. We keep upping our caliber because our audience keeps upping their expectations. It is a great and motivating relationship.” GO! Contemporary Dance Works is committed to serving the Knoxville Community and has performed with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra in its educational outreach programs, as guest artists for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s “Clayton Holiday Concerts,” the Knoxville Opera Company’s Rossini Festival, Roane State Community College and many other local venues.

Finding shoes to inspire confidence and comfort
t’s no secret that shoes can either make or break an outfit. But can uncomfortable shoes also affect your confidence? According to a recent study, 94 percent of women say they feel good when their feet feel good. Stacy London, style expert and host of TLC’s “What Not To Wear,� has partnered with the makers of Dr. Scholl’s For Her. She agrees that when it comes to shoes, women can look good and feel good at the same time. “As a stylist, I know that fi nding a balance between fashion and comfort can sometimes be tricky. And chances are that most women have experienced “Fabulitis� – the discomfort caused by the decision to wear uncomfortable, yet
‘Chances are that most women have experienced ‘Fabulitis’ – the discomfort caused by the decision to wear uncomfortable, yet fabulous shoes.’ – Stacy London, Stylist fabulous shoes,� says London. “That’s why I use Dr. Scholl’s For Her insoles – because I can wear the shoes I want and feel comfortable doing it.�
Helping women get back on their feet One of the most inconvenient times for women to face “Fabulitis� is during a job interview, especially since the right shoes are an essential component
to feeling comfortable and confident. That’s why the makers of Dr. Scholl’s For Her are launching an interactive campaign to support Dress for Success Worldwide, a nonprofit organization that offers professional attire, a network of support and career development tools to women entering the workforce.

Stacy London’s interview wardrobe tips London shares her tips for achieving fashion, comfort and confidence when tackling a job interview: Comfort is key: Such a big part of achieving success is feeling comfortable in your own skin – and shoes, for that matter. Go for heels and add a Dr. Scholl’s for Her insole for comfort. Suit up: Suits (pant or skirt) are always appropriate. Pair suits with more feminine, colorful or textured tops to add flair. Must-haves: Every woman should have a comfortable closed-toe heel for suiting and separates, a pencil or simple A-line skirt and a suit.

“Gold Standard—
consistently raising the bar for what it means to be a great retailer”
T
Keeping it fresh for fall
he men’s and women’s buyers at M. S. McClellan & Co. agree that grey is still an essential color for fashion going into the fall and winter months. Women’s buyer Betsy Foster says any shade of grey “from charcoal to nickel to shale is still important, as is navy. Those are the base colors, along with black, of course.” Menswear buyer and manager Dan Kocks says grey remains important for his customers, too, “particularly flannel grey.” The two also agree that bright accent colors are just the thing to add some pizzazz to all those dark shades. For both sexes, suits and pants in the darker hues are made more interesting with the addition of brightly colored scarves, shirts and sweaters. Oranges and purples will be particularly popular with both men and women this season. Trends in women’s wear include longer skirt lengths, in both the fuller skirts and pencil skirts, and some types of pants – particularly palazzo pants and pleated pants – are getting wider while waistlines on pants have moved higher. Foster says the wider pants need to be worn with shorter tops or with a belt over the top. “You don’t want a big top over wider pants.” The pants with a more narrow leg are best suited to the longer tops, Foster says, adding that some of the longer sweaters and tunics may still call for the addition of a great belt.
The women’s department is brimming with new accessories – jewelry, purses, belts, scarves and even reader glasses called “Eye-Bobs.” This season’s trend in menswear is toward “a more modern, softer look,” Kocks says. “Trousers are slimmer; clothing is a little more body conscious. Even neckwear is trimmed up a bit. A lot of things men have in their closet from a few years ago are going to be obsolete. Men are going to have to update their wardrobes so they don’t look like yesterday’s news.” Kocks says the new menswear “is a more rugged look. We’re seeing lots of rugged looking vests and country looks in both shirts and dressier attire. For the guy who wears a coat and tie, now he can wear a sports coat with a tweed tie and a plaid shirt for that outdoorsy appearance.” Layering pieces is important for men in the cooler months, Kocks says. “You might wear a cashmere vest or sweater as outerwear. And we’re seeing lots of boots – work boots, waterproof boots, rubber boots. If the weather turns bad and slushy you’ll be ready.” Accessories are important for the men, too. Hats, gloves, scarves, sunglasses, even bracelets for men. M. S. McClellan has them all, and Kocks says they’re a great way to spruce up an older piece in your wardrobe.
