done 50 much that my innovation was
really necessary
The reason people are so crazy about
dancing the Turkey Trot and the Griz-
Ely Bear is because of the syncopated
time-the alternate rocking of the body
and swinging of the feet When the
cake walk first came out. Paris went
mad about that, but the eake-walk is a
lonesome dance compared with the
Grizzly Bear You can dance a cake
walk All by yourself as a pas seul," but
no one can dance the Grizzly Bear
without a partner.
The pictures Illustrated here show
some of our steps and poses in the
new dance. OF course. ! don't expect
BAN room amateurs to copy them for no
girl with pretty party dress wants TO
crouch down and half recline on the
floor and, personally. | don't enjoy it
myself on the stage. for after each per-
Torrance my froeks have to be freshly
cleaned and renovated, no matter how
immaculate the stage hands keep the
floor

founded Of Spanish dances-and, Of
course YOU know by this time that
the Turkey Trot and the Grizzly Bear
came from Spanish South America, via
san Francisco-wel all of these dances
are built up like the Spanish dances

ton for grace and looks. Besides that.
think grotesque dancing is inartis
tic. An artist can get very near the
ridiculous, or even vulgar but the
moment she crosses the line she is no
longer an artist
An Imitation.
Now. in dancing the Grizzly Bear
give an imitation, but | hope it is an
elegant version of the dancing bear
with arms up and knees bent as he
hops about Ny partner faces me in
this and often we cross our arms as in
the picture and hop backward or for
ward or to the side, as we have ar
ranged. according to the music of the
dance.
Beginners think this is very easy,
but no two people can dance these
steps without good deal of practice,
unless they are holding on to each
other The hold is done by grasping
each others shoulders. or l grasp my
partners shoulders while he takes me
around the waist with knees bent as In
the picture We hop and sway with
the music. This is the real Grizzly
Bear step. and I don't see anything OBJ
jectionable TO it, though of course one
can make it so If one wishes to.
After beginning the dance in this
way we let go Of each other, and hop
one in front of the other for four
steps, as shown in the illustration,
each dancer going N the opposite di
rection, only for two steps each, then
stopping and making the other two
steps back again. so that you land in
the original position with the man
back Of the girl The pose for the END
, Of this measure is a backward hinging
of the girl over the extended arm Of
the man behind her.
They now take hands. her right
hand being in his right and she being
close to him in the ordinary dancing
position He takes quick step back,
she pirouettes or whirls away from
him at arms length He pulls her
back again and they alternate back
ward and forward for eight more
measures; the final pose ends with her
close TO him looking into his eyes, in
what is called the fascination pose"
of the waltz
Suddenly each of the partners begins
to sway in opposite directions: the girl
sways the farthest, and he catches her
around the waist as II she were about
to lose her balance Turning her
around so that she faces the audience
with her back to him, they once more
begin TO sway. she bending very low
and he catching her. At the end Of the
eighth measure they are both bent to
the floor, where they assume the posi-
ton illustrated.
Not for Amateurs.
But while this is very pretty part of
the dance, it requires almost acrobatic
skill and I shouldn't recommend il for
the amateur. In dancing these dances
fortunately one can leave out sucn
steps as are not appropriate for tile
time and the place and adapt others 10
ones purposes and ones costume. That
asst item is a very important one for
the girl. who will find that the modern
frock keeps her from being over-ath-
letic or trying any gymnasium tricks in
the ball room.

TIME American dances like the Tur-
key Trot and the Grizzly Bear
which | have been introducing
in Europe are taking like wild fire over
here
In the first place they are new they
are American and they are so differ
ert from the old time waltz. You can
make them different or "Oh, SO differ
emit" with the accen, on the exclama-
ton according to the way YOU dance
them
OF course, on the stage one has TO be
sensational. No one would pay the
slightest attention if one merely
waited around. especially in ordinary
clothes When | am doing simple
little step or dance | am much more
particular about having startling and
original costumes than when am
dancing a sensational novelty. which is
sure to take without the aid Of startling
