A dance inspector in Kansas City
says that the new tangled acrobatics
are on the way to society's junk heap, |
and that the time has come for the |
swan song of the new dances. Dane |
ers are advised to shine up the old /
pumps and press the old spike tail, for |
the old time dances are coming back. |
The dancing masters in Kansas City |
have noticed that the halls in which |
the old dances are permitted are max |
ing more money than the forty or /
more that use the new steps The |
board of public welfare has been |
asked to place ban on all dances |
except the waltz, the two-step, schot- |
tische, quadriIIe. Virginia reel. and |
the square dance that supposedly Is /
dead except in the Ozarks and the |
hackwoods of Missouri and country /
places in Kansas. The dance hall pro- /
prietors are in a desperate case, they /
think. OF course the board will allow I
the new dances to be danced as they /
have in the past, for it is not their
g flair if every one dances something l
different SO that hardly any one can
find a partner who does it as he does
it. The inspector in Kansas City says. II
according to Kansas City paper:
I'VE don't expect to take any ac- II
ton. The new dances seemingly are
dying. The east is forgetting them to
return to the old and so we are here.
