and feet at the same time is most
mystifying.
Mrs. Dyer contends that the ac-
tual steps of the Maxixc are very
easy to learn, but that it is the arm
and body movements which put the
greatest tax upon the pupil. If these
body movements are natural, if the
steps are executed with grace, and
if the heel steps are made very
short instead of long, the dance is
not in the least Objectionable. But
when this Brazilian IMPORTATION is
danced by one who wishes to accen-
tuate its very worst points, it is not
fit to be seen in public.
The Maxixe was first danced in
Washington by Miss Herriott, but
has since been taken up by many of
the younger set. At her studio, at
1919 Connecticut avenue, Miss Her.
riott, like Mrs. Dyer, has been
teaching all the late dances, and has
made a great deal of money. But
that is going to be another story.
Vernon Castle became so enam-
ored of the Maxixe that he made
special study of it, and devoted
much of his valuable time elabor-
ating it.
Now dancers all, here comes the

this it is the nearest thing 70 the

Classic Greek dancing is las l un-

al other dancing because of the fact
that the arms are used er-a-profuse-

il the Maxixe, the arms play a
prominent part-hence the hope that
dancers will become interested in
arm work and take up classic Greek
dancing, which is really very beauti-
ful.
There is nothing Objectionable or
