THE main thing to remember
about any dance is to
base it entirely upon the
turkey trot tempo.
Almost anything can be done
in the way OF variations, if one
has the regular turkey trot
swing to begin with.
So it can easily be seen that
anything in the way of new
dance is absolutely impossible
ii Is simply left to the skill and
originality of the inventor to so
combine certain steps that a
dance is devised which seems an
absolutely new departure from
all old methods.
Ny new dance ! have called
the "Futurist Twill" but it is
nothing more nor less than
combination of the tango and
turkey trot with greatly eXag-
gerated steps.
However. the rapidity which
comes with practise makes
very unusual effect, and it Is
possible for anyone who dances
TO perfect this whole dance
without any trouble at all.
Everything in the "Futurist
Twill" is based upon system of
eight counts.
So, if this makes an impression
In the beginning it will simplify
matters in the end.
Always remember that each DO.
sition and set of steps end with
eight counts.
In the first position the man
and girl stand side by side. the
man with his right arm around

trot steps are taken down the

wrote me every day ! meet him
the night after he came home and
he acted SO cool il almost broke
my heart. G. II.
He Is man Of moods, and such
a man makes life unhappy for every
woman he attracts. You must not
try to win him back. You are too

he is too changeable to make you

on the part Of the man. This is
done in the regular turkey trot or
tango position. The walk can be
practised by placing the right
foot forward and dragging it
back on the ball of the foot, and
then giving place to the left and
going through the same motions
again.
The girl in the meantime walks
back eight steps in tempo, the
regular turkey trot walk, with
the man. The fish walk, in an
exaggerated style, is the only
thing that needs particular prac-
tise in this first part of the dance.
1t Is great deal like skipping
with an exaggerated pull back
ward on each step, and Is not at
all difficult to accomplish. II
must be remembered that the
man alone does this fish walk,
while the girl simply walks back
in time to the music.
Thus the fish walk is really the
only departure from the ordinary
trot In this part of the dance.
When beginning to learn this
dance, remember to first of all
perfect your turkey trot swing;
this is most important.
No one who does not turkey
should attempt to learn any var
iations, 1t would be merely a
waste of time. Then get into the
spirit Of the thing and let your
self go.
This is, after all, the real
secret of dancing. Absolute
abandonment to the movements
Of the dance and the ability to
really enjoy oneself.
After one has all this for a
background, the "Futurist Twirp
itself is thing of easy attain
ment. and the next movements
can be more easily explained
and understood.
