HEEBIE JEEBIES.
Four Successors to Oust
Charleston.
BANANA SLIDE A CLOSE SBOIBT
LONDON, April 28.
Sydney will soon be in the grip of four successors to the Charleston^—the Heebie Jeebies, New Blues, Banana Slide, and the new Black Bottom.
All four have passed the Paris dancing professors, and will make their debuts at the world dancing congress, which opens in the gay capital on May 25. Picked up in the Negro dance halls of New York the Heebie Jeebies takes its name from -a joyful expression current among American Nfegroes. - «-' It is a thoroughly decorous com promise between the Charleston and the Foxtrot. ' : :.
The new Blues is not the "Three o'clock in the Morning" dance. It Wa* more vim, and is wine where the old Blues was water.
A feature of the new Black Bottojti is the rapid, rhythmic, swaying of the hips.
The Banana Slide ia being kept a dari secret for the present.
