BALLROOM DANCING. TÄLSE, FOXTROT, AND TANGO

Each of the 150 or so dance teachers gathered there would be likely, said the president, to impart the knowledge they had quired to other dance teachers ou returning to their native hanth. Each of these in turn would pass it on with luck to two or three hundred pupils.
The tone of auth rity used in referring to the future was probably not misplaced. It only remained, therefore, to demonstrate the valse, the fox-trot, and the tango as approved and standardised by the experts, and this was done by Major Taylor holding the centre of the door in the Purious shitting cross-lights of the large ballroom by daylight, jazz masiv Pouring discreetly from a small orchestra la å easier, and the circle of teaghers" revolv ing round in following his movements. an, jotting down the gist of his conu ments in node-books.

The main features of each of (again mercifully for the non-expert) sermál to difer scarcely at all from the dances as practised already by the most graceful of present-day dancers. The society has set its enutenance very definitely against rowdiness and "exuggeration. The keynote of each of the dances is discretion. As regards the tango, the most important thing was obviously to standardise its move- nents. The Committee has done this along alightly different lines from those advocated, by M. de Phynal, the expert from Paris, who lectured in London the other day. But the difference is very slight.

The valse also stays as it is--or ruther as it has been for some years, -a combination of the Bostony alesitation, but only a slight one, and the slow walking step. Again the dage, as demonstrated by the president, was quiet and unexaggerated.
The Fos-tron also stays, but with slight modifientions. It was noticible that Major Taylor danced in his toes. A great many people dance nowadays with their beel to the ground. He tande i isto 2 long, wven gliding dauce, as the best dancers always do,
