GO BACK TO CHINA
FOR GRACEFUL STEP

PARIS, Feb. THE announcement
that the pope is sponsor for dance
has found an echo here in the springing
up of a successor to the "tango," as
unusual as the furlana. 1t is the ia
tao, which has been popular in China
since 2450 B. c.. The Paris Academy
of Dancing Masters is furthering this
oriental importation.
The ta-tao "a Chinese word which
means sweetness and harmony, is n
slow, graceful measure full of quaint
steps and lauguorous dipping move
ments. NJ. Lefort. of the Paris Acad
emy of Dancing Masters snys:
1t is essentially a harmonious
and digni6ed measure, The feet
move in a oue-two measure, and
many of the graceful steps seen in
the tango-the balancing on one
foot, the slide and the dip, with
one knee almost touching the
ground-are included in this old
Chinese measure.
One of the greatest charms Of this
dance is its unbroken swing. keeping
time to Il slow, tuneful melody in n
minor key. The ta.tao can never be-
come vulgar exhibition OF romping.
