DANCING IN EUROPE AND AMERICA.

After circling the world once more in search of the very latest development of the dancing art, and incidentally keeping their eyes open for other novelties, .Misses Jennie'and Eileen Bronnn have returned, very smart and up to date modistically (writes “Celia,” in .Melbourne ‘Table Talk ’), and they tell of a wonderful “camel trot” that they found was intriguing South Europe when they arrived, and which was being danced by all the smart people at Nice and the Riviera. “It sounds terrible, we-know, but it is really very charming,” they explain. “There is a new tango that is delightful, and has many characteristics of the foxtrot. In fact, in America it is called the tango fox-trot. They arc dancing the raise a great deal, especially in Europe; not the old six-step—that will probably never return. Why should it when they can get the effect with throe steps? The new valse is freer and broader in movement than that we used to dance. This breadth of movement characterises all the new dances. They are most refined, quiet, and charming. We saw nothing anywhere that was not refined except in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and there they do some terrible dances, vulgar in the extreme. There was one we heard a great deal about that was invented by a college girl. We tried to see it, then heard the inventor was teaching it; so we rang Lev up and arranged with her to give us lessons, as we were leaving in two days. It was so unspeakably vulgar that we would not touch it.”
