FOXTROT FAVOURITE
LONDON STILL LIKES IT; WITH VARIATIONS. (Sun Special.) LONDON, January 16. “Fox-trot variations still hold the floor in London’s ballrooms. There are no new steps except a few quick waltzes,” said Mrs Schlesinger, of Melbourne, to the Special Representative of The Sun to-day. “The general level of hotel dancing is no better than the Australian, but, at a world competition, where chiefly British dancers competed, I saw the most perfect dancing anyone could wish. The style there was plain, severe, and very fast. Bodies were held erect and rigid, gliding along with superb gracefulness by a leg motion from hips or just using the feet, and sometimes only the heels.” Mrs Schlesinger will visit Paris, the south of France and Italy to study the latest styles of dancing there.
