OLD-FASHIONED DANCES
WALTZ.AND THE POLKA
(From "The Post's" Representative.) SYDNEY, 26th May. Will the waltz, the-polka, and the other old dances come into their own again? It is a question which is often discussed, but on which opinion.is very divided. Of prominent figures in the world of entertainment of Sydney who have expressed investing views on the question, the majority are of opinion that the popular revival of the oldfashioned dances, in this city at all events, is only a remote possibility. Conspicuous among the minority is Miss Thurza Rogers, t'lie New Zealand 'dancer, who was with Pavlova in -Australia, and who has since been winning fresh honours on' the Sydney stage. STie favours strongly the old dances, and says she is strongly conscious of a loss of dignity if she twirls about in some of the modern dances, especially the Charleston. The slump in modern dancing with which/London- is threatened, according to the cablegrams, shows no sign- of affecting Sydncv. • " ■
