DANCING WATERS

Fomations of water tinted by a kaleidoscope of colored lights sway to dance rhythms in an unusual spectacle that has been successfully presented in a number of cities all over the world. Sitting at an organlike console that controls both the lights and the height and direction of more than 4,000 jets of water, an operator creates a variety of visual effects synchronized with the music while a "butterfly" dancing girl waves a pair of 20-foot wings. For this production, an inflated theater has been erected - a plastic bubble that seats 400 and is supported by air pressure maintained by blowers.

* Admission: 50 cents till 6 p.m.; 75 cents evenings and holidays.

* Hours: 10 a.m. until midnight.
