Dancing Children
Execute Novel
Figures
At the annual Christinas dance for
children, given by Miss Lillian Viola
Moseley at Segadlo’s hall yesterday,
from 5 to 7 o’clock, a number of beau
tiful and novel steps were witnessed by
a delighted audience of grown-ups—
friends and relatives of the young danc
ers. The children were allowed to se
lect their own program, and for two
hours they gave solos, duos and dances
in which a dozen or more took part.
The performance of these children
showed the. many new ideas in dancing
which have been advanced»and taught
by the leading dance masters of New
York and Paris, Miss Moseley having
spent the summer learning these in
New York.
Among the dances given were the
Czardash, a Hungarian peasant dance,
full of quick, graceful lavements; the
Krakoviak, a Polish pantomime group
dance; "Little Boy Blue,” a beautiful
interpretative dance; “Poppies," the es
sence of grace and charm; "Golden But
terfly," an airy, fairy dance with ex
quisite arm movements, as well as
dgnee steps; “Polka Minature,” and
many others, besides the usual ball
room dances and variations, like "The
Scottische Enchantress,” "The Broad
way Polka" and the “Minuet."
The children, whose ages ranged from
seven or eight to thirteen, taking part
in these classical, interpretative and
characteristic dances were Misses Ruth
Benson, Martha Boynton. Florence
Deale, Lydia Toepel. Helen Brown,
Harriet Askam, Nell Summerall and
Idelia Andrews, and Masters Bert Har
less. Walter Wilkes, Olin Stamps, Jr.,
Edward Kemp. Charles Parantha, Joel
Armistead and Charles E. Yloynton, Jr.
During an intermission in the dances,
delicious refreshments were served to
the children and the grown-up guesfs.
and a cordial holiday cheer radiated
throughout the afternoon.
The exhibition of these many beau
tiful dances by. young children shows
the scope of the present fad for danc
ing. and its development in the high
est forms. There was nothing of the
bizarre or grotesque on the program
but, on the contrary, movements and
steps which were not only full of grace
and beauty, but which embodied the
exercise of arms ami limbs and the en
tire body of the child, in action set to
harmony, which is the latest and most
praiseworthy idea to be inculcated in
dancing by the leading masters of the
world.
Mr. and Mrs. George Caldwell Spier
will keep open house tomorrow at their
home on Columbia avenue, when all
their friends will be welcomed at an
old-fashioned observance of New Year's
day “at,home.”
