THE sH IS OUT OF STYLE.
Dance of the Naughty Name is
Already Pass - Everyhody's
DOM 1.-the Rocker Now.

The shimmy is out! It has been done
to death, and dancing masters are busy
these days figuring out some new dance
to take its place. Comes news from
London of new one, 1.-THE Rocker. =
According to the cables, The Rocker q
is done to waltz time, beginning with
a simple rocking motion, the dancers
bodies swaying from side to side and
their feet crossing over each other.
This is followed by few waltz
steps winding up with long back
ward glide. The Rocker was given
the award of honor at the convention
of the Imperial Society of Dancing
Teachers in London, and is said to be
both easy and graceful. At the sum
mer hotels this year they are doing a
jazz waltz which is slow and
smooth. There is also the London
jazz which is done with step for
ward and backward, and an up and
down movement but no side movement.
1t is something on the two-step order.
The Shimmy,' has killed itself. Of
it will continue to be done in
certain classes of society all next win
ter probably, but in ordinary public
places it is tabooed.
