Walking the dog, the Hawaiian wiggle and London Taps are some of the prophecies being bandied about at the annual convention of the Amer-! ican Soclety of Professors of Dancing, now being held in this city, It seems evident that we have not yet lost our fondneess for the marriage of the sensuous and the bizarre, which is the dance as we have known it and danced it for five years, But what animal, what animal movements, are left for presumably sane men and women to imitate? It was away back in 1911 that the dance was first vitalized and vulgarized. This statement isn't made for the sake of being alliterative. Most of us can re- member—even if we won't admit it—the days when dancing was a tepid indoor sport, an accomplishment in which the young rather automatically and listlessly perfected them- selves, but which was avoided by most mature men and by many women.
