WHITE LINE FOR DANCING.
The white line principle is being applied in London ballrooms to make it impossibile for dancers to dance the wrong way round. The lines look like a perspective of railway lines. They converge gradually, starting about 3ft. apart, following the walls of the room, finishing at a point. There are from ten to fifteen lines on the walls. Dancers, according to theory, are interested in their steps. They see the walls, subconsciously, and the lines force their minds to direct their steps in one direction. The inventor says he hopes that this will prevent dancers upsetting a floor full of people by dancing the wrong way.
