THE "THREESOME"

New Method of Dancing

The "Threesome"—the new method of dancing in which one man dances with two girls at the same time—has made its first ballroom appearance in London. More than 100 members of the National Association of Teachers of Dancing, many of whom had laughed at the idea, cheered and applauded the dance when they saw it demonstrated in the Criterion ballroom. For, fantastic as is sounds, three people can dance together just as gracefully as two. With Miss Jessie Frame and Miss Rachael Rye, Mr. R. Williams swept through the movements of the waltz and quickstep—six feet moving as one. Within a few minutes the whole ballroom was dancing the "Threesome." "You see, it is so easy to dance —any average dancers can do it," explained Mr. Alex. Moore, president of the National Association of Teachers of Dancing, who invented the dance. "One girl stands behind the other and their partner puts his right arm round the waist of the second girl. The man holds the hands of both girls and the second girl places her unoccupied hand lightly on the waist of her companion."

If the "Threesome" catches on—and leading dancing teachers think it will—the problem of the wallflower is solved !
