DANCING CRAZE DYING AT HOME.
(Special to the “Star.”) LONDON, December 19. The. dancing craze so popular in postwar London is now declining. Dance clubs are still popular, and young society people of both sexes arc founding new ones almost weekly in the. back streets of the West End. But these institutions are now the centres for gossiping rather than for dancing. The lounges and diningrooms are always crowded, and usually there are only three or four couples on the dancing floor. The monotony of dance tunes, the failure of the Charleston (despite the Prince of Wales’s patronage) to catch on, and the decline of the permanent dancing partners system are considered to be responsible for the change.
