WINE GLASS DANCE
The chief visiting team for the recent National Folk Dance Festival in London was that of five Basque dancers from the province of La Soule, in the French Pyrenees. Known as' Les Beaux, each dresses in the traditional costume of a carnival character. The leader of the team —the Zamalzain, or Hobby Horse — is famous for his part in the Wine Glass Dance, in which, mounting upon a halffilled tumbler of wine, he leaps clear without spilling the wine or upsetting the glass.
