NEW DANCES FOR ALL EUROPE.

Let the dancing world of London prepare lo learn three new dances. To-day the experts of the French National Syndicate of Professors of Dancing have been watching them with critical

and amazed eyes, and the verdict is that the new Terpsichorean gambols will conquer Europe. They were presented to this critical audience by M. Georges Moros, a dancing champion, who had brought them over from America.

The first is called the “Heebies-Jeeb->es.” Even M. Moros cannot say what the name means, except that it is a compound negro word. “The Heebios-Jeebies,” a professor explained to me, “consists of gracious movements of the body. These movements,” the professor added, when the first exhibition was over, “are enchanting”—which is praise from a Caesar.

Secondly came the “New Blues,” which strikes the spectator as being a display of very'animated physical jerks, a highly vigorous one-step, where the earlier Blues was of the two-step variety. Then, according to M. Moros, the “Black Bottom,” which the world—except the U.S. negroes—has been dancing, is merely an “ersatz.’ The real Black Bottom is distinguished by many curious and interesting flutters and frisking.?, without which none is genuine.
