LONDON'S NEW DANCE.
" CAMEL WALK " GRACEFUL. With the waning of .iugust preparations are being made everywhere; for the winter dancing season, says the Daily Mail. At least one of the new dances has the merit of originality. Described as the "camel walk," it is a di?soriptive dance, in which the dancers reprissent the motion of a oamel in what is described as a very graceful manner. Among the steps are the "gib," the "humpy canter," the "pawing sand step," and the 'pas de joie," representing the delight of a camel when he sees aji oasis in the desfirt. It is said to be an amusing dance' and easy to learn. It can be introduced into an ordinary fox trot, but special music of an "Oriental" nature has been written for it. ' A great effort is to be made to popularise the tango in the coming season. The new tango is purely a progressive dance without any pauses at all, and a comparatively simple one.
