Boy Starts Here (Girl Does Opposite)
THERE'S a dance in America today for which even the Greeks would have trouble finding a name — but not the Americans. The Easterners call it the Slow Lindy Hop; on the West Coast it's the Balboa, because all such steps start at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa out there. We don't know what they think they're doing in the corn belt.
If you're still just fox-trotting with variations of the Charleston or the hoary Big Apple, you'd better get busy. Just turn the radio dial until you've i^ot the music — Kay Kyser, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw.
Our guest stars this month are Jackie Cooper and Bonita Granville. They're just going to dance, the way they would, and we're going to tell ymi what they're doing and how to do it too.
I.i t's leave a name for it to future historians, eh?
The original fox trot was the simple, four-heat step done in a brisk fashion to fast or popular music. One two, three, four, and repeat. Then you maintained the step through turns or
whatever variation you felt like making.
