A number of dancing men are agitat-
ing the question of having a dancing
ing master locate in Cheyenne for the
winter. While Cheyenne society num-
bers among its members many who can
dance tie ~lancers, waltz or polka with a
certain degree of perfection yet in new
dances they are a year or two behind the
times. At a party lately the orchestra
played the music for la Reve," a new
society dance in the East, but with q few
exceptions none of the Cheyenne dapcers
knew anything about it. An enthusiastic
lady who has learned the step says that
La Reve" is divine and it's movements
are enhancing. 1t starts off with three
glides. After the three glides follows a
coupe, or lhrusting forward of the foot
and recovering it Immediately behind the
other loot. After that there lis the jete, or
little Jump with the forward foot bringing
the other foot to a position of rest. In
fact it is the glide waltz and Newport com
bined. Then too, in the East with new
figures the old fashioned waltz quadrille
and caledonian are being danced. Even
the style of WALKING has changed since
last winter and dancers who are IN har
mony with the times do not dance on
the toes as they used to do almost to-
gether a year or so ago but not they dance
on the whole foot scarcely raising the heel.
