THE VALSE IN THE BALANCE

The annual conference of the British Association of Teachers of Dancing was held, last month, at the Caxton Hall, Westminster. Mr. D. T. Foster, the pre- ident, in his addrem, said last. year witnessed the tide, of content between nota sequence and sequence: dances, At the present time the valm was under- going a avere test, and the question whe ther it would become three-stop dance or 'remain the orthodox valse was 'still! in the balance.

FOUR NEW DANCES,

An agreeable surprise was sprung upon the International Congress of Professors af Dancing" at Paris, last month, The congress accepted four new dances, but none of these excited as much interest El Chucha," which is a British creation, the work of the members of the Council of the Imperial Society of Dancing. Major Cecil Taylor, the pre- sident of this body, presented the dance,. „which evokeḍ quite an oration. From the encomiums" passed upon it there seems no doubt that the international professors of dancing will include it in their courses, in which case it is likely to figure on the dance programmes this winter. ** F* Chitcha has the slow mazurka movement. It is pleasant combination of modern dances, such as the Foxtrot, Tango, Boston, and One Step. The movements have been well thought "out; there is nothing fanciful nhout them, the inventors aiming at simplicity and rhythm.

** SEIMMT `SHAKERS."

The Academy of Dancing Masters in solemn conclave, last month, pronounced an edict against the Shimmy. On June 13th, the Union of Professors of Dancing at a meeting 300 strong declared that the Shimmy artistically danced and tastefully subdued was as proper in every sense of the word as the Fox Trot, the One Step, or the Tango.

"The dancing world, indeed, seems to be like the labour world, with its majoritairer and minoritaires, the *moderates," who would hang bank, and the extremists," who would rush forward. Whether or not the professors are right in thinking that the Shimmy and other modern dances come from origins centuries old the Shimmy is de- clared to bave been shaken" at the Court of Henri Quatre-vill not affect the enthusiasts, either young and brave or old and fat and ribald.

N

A number of new dances has been antroduced, including the Pavane Moder- ne, the Hesperia, the Slingan, a mixture of the Boston and the Fox Trot, the Farraca, which combines the Maxixe, the Tango, and the Schottiscbe Espag- nele, and a new gliding dance. Finally, and above, all, there is one called the Chuck which is a combined creation of 19 English professors.

THE DYING "JAZZ,”

"Jazz" is in its death, agonics, ac cording to American sheet music dealera, who have been holding their annual con vention at Chicago. "Jazz" dancing, it was also decided, is in the same pre- dicament. This is confirmed in theatrical circles in New York and other large cities. Mr. Harry Jordan, one of the leading figures in the Keith Corporation, which controls most of the music-halls, said last month:-

Fam convinced that "jazz" is prae- tically dead. People are tired of noise, and want real music instead. Now they are asking for music with real barmony in it.

At the music' dealers' convention a steadily increasing demand for such Bongs as the Rosary" and "Love's Old Sweet Song" is reported. One speaker said these songs are being sung by large numbers of music-hall performers to audiences of a new generation who had Dever heard them and to whom they came as new songs.
