A National Dance
Versus Local Steps

MAN STREET steppers who have

Under the plan now gaining popular

leading dancing instructors, dancers
will forsake the provincial steps in
favor of the 'kinkajou," the dance

new dance is negligible. Apparently
local dancers are satisfied with their
pet gyrations of the Peanut Hop"
and the plain foX-trOt. Depictions Of
the new-fangled step by the motion
picture evidently has not aroused their
interest. The screen depletion Of the
"kinka jou" gave the impression that
the dance was difficult. That impress
sion was inaccurate. If one judges the
newly devised dance by it's scenic ap-
pearance it will seem'dfficult. but the
actual execution of the dance is
simple.
1t should prove to he easily accom-

more difficult. The Baltimore Hop is
more like a stage presentation than

be an excellent dancer to execute that

are added to the Hop" and old steps
either revised or abandoned.
The question is, who but Balti-
morean could execute their domestic
Hop?
The proposition then is to popularize
