The Beautiful Gavotte, One
of the Most Simple of
Dances, Has Been Mod

in the Ballroom of Today.
Described bv VERNON CASTLE.
IT was Mademoiselle Pavlowa who
has shown this gencintion liovv

and In doing so she has p:oed
the value uf simplicity in dancing
I have not .vet. howevri, seen u

the leason for which I feel may be
that, as taught. It has not been suf
ficiently modernized foi t lie ball

therefore, that I make my humble
effoit to teach, and mv appeal io
vim to dance, the new gavotte. Tho
muMo for the gavotte can be pui
chased In anv music stote. and you
will find scores of selections fiom
which to choose.
"The Glow Worm" Best Music.
The most popular modern piece of
music, and piobably the easiest to
lcam the dance by. is "Thc Glow
Worm." My wife and I, on our ic
cent tour, used the "Noiwegian
Dances, ' by Grieg.
You commence the modern gavotte
bj locking foi ward, the lady on her
light foot, thc gentleman on his left,
for two beats. You will notice that
the gentleman holds each of the
lady'j. hands in h's very lightly, and
nev or at any time throughout the
dance lb his aim aiound hei waist
l'or the gavotte there are eight
beats to tho measuic. After lock
ing foi ward for two beats, then "ii
rock backward on the other foot for
two beats. After that you take
thiee walking steps forward foi
three beats and paiiso for the last
and eighth heat ready to commence
the step agi1".-.. If this is gone over
carefully you will have no difficulty
in grasping what the step Is, and
this is ically tho only step in tho
modern gavotte. It will bo noticed
that there are onb five steps to
eight beats of music, and ou can
do the counting this way:
1 2 3 4 B 6 T S
one and two and one tno three and
The Second Step.
The seiond step is practically the
same as the flrtt; In fact tho
