1t is the busiest little dance ever

ficult, and the dance so peppered
with acrobatic stunts that If you
are going to perform 1t skillfully
you will have to be something
of an athlete.
Although the dance originated
on San Francisco's famous Bar
barry Coast" there is nothing in
1t that suggests in the remotest
way the viciousness of the re-
sorts where it was first danced.

TIGER TO BE

The tiger is the carnival en-
blem.
He isn't a very jolly beast but
the committee probably thought
he'd do.
So many criticismes had been
heaped on the "Montamara Fasto'
title adopted for the carnival that
the committee reconsidered 1t yes

out of their systems so they re-
affirmed that the big show is to
be "montamara festo," and

Tommy" resembles the cake-walk
that was all the rage few years
ago. and like that dance, it is real
ly of negro origin.
The dance begins in mad rag
time. In the first figure the dane
ers face each other in a catch-as-
catch-can position, dancing indi-
vidually, neither a two-step nor
a waltz, buta step known as
Straight Texas" 1t is a peculiar
little jig-step, which is kept up
throughout by the figures. The
first figure quickly changes to
the Texas Turn" In which the
partners Turn the Dishrag'' and
wind up at arms length, facing
each other. Then they Jig toward
one another slowly for the Texas
Dip" which is the prettiest fig
ure in the dance. 1t resembles
some what the "Scottische Dip
but Is . little more extreme. Both
dancers, close together and facing
each other, dip nearly to the floor
IN perfect time to the music.
The Dip leads into the Texas
reverse swing" where the dancers
turn quickly and slide to arms
length in opposite directions.
These figures, the principal ones
of the dance, have many elabor-
ate variations, according to the
ability of the dancers.
The effect of staging the Texas
Tommy has been to elevate it from
a common beer-hall gambol to a
dance of refinement, grace and
beauty. 1t doesn't need the white
wash brush. 1t is clearly entitled
to clean bill of health.
