Abstract

The Dance
October 8, 1914 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various books. "The Dance," by Troy and Margaret West Kinney; "Modern Dancing," by Vernon Castle; "Esthetic Dancing," by Emil Rath. The first one makes the significant prediction that there is now a tendency towards the revival of old court dances. In every cycle of fashion it may be found that society has sentimentally hoped for a return of a galante period. Nowhere is this more evident than in the survival of the sedulous mummery of the fancy-dress dance. The book "Modern Dancing," since the title seems ambiguous, it must be explained that "The Castles" refer to the latest South American and other measures now in vogue.
