 And therefore the dancing advocates have foiSted them such ridiculous and eccentric and uncaed for per ambuationS and meanderngS and syncopated steppmgS as Walking the Dog" Teasing the Cat" "The Lame Duck" "The Todde," and perhaps "The Blind Stag gers At least that last title would appropriately fit some of the modern day fancy dance creations.
