The Tango, Though Difficult,
Develops Grace and Repose
But Should Be Taught
With Care.
By VERNON CASTLE.
THE tango is not. as onimonly
believed, of South Ainciicun
origin It is an old Gypsy
dance which came to ArKn
tlna by way of Spain, where, lu all
probability, it beiame invested with
certain features o the old Moorish
dances. Tho ArKentlnnn adopted the
dance, eliminating .xoine of llo leck
less Gypsy trult. anil added to it !
certain languid indolence peculiar to
their temperament.
After Paris had takeji the dance up
a few years ago. Its too sensuous
character was gradually toned down,
and from a rather obscene exhibi
tion, which is still indulged In by
certain cabal et performers, It bloom
ed forth a polished and extremely
fascinating dance, which ha not
had ita equal in rh thmlcal allure
ment since the das of the minuet.
Heyonrt doubt, the tango correctly
practiced Is the cshcnco of the mod
ern soul of dancing, the autocrat of
the up-to-date "soiree dansant."
For It Is not onlv a dance, it Is a
st.vle; to master the tango one must
first master Us style, absorb its at
mosphere. Among the many points in its fa
vor, not the Iniht is this: That it
not only commands grace, and espe
cially repose, hut It develops and
even creates these endowments. The
only drawback; in Amcilcn to this
lovely dance lies in the fact that
nearly all tcacheis teach it different
ly. A variety of btcps which do not
belong In the dance at all nor to
the ballroom, for that matter have
been taught and practiced by inef
ficient tcaciieifl. In in dor to g'.vo the
dance the absolute popularit it de
serves It must he "Mnndunllzed."
Argentine Tango Not "Shocking.'
The Argentine tango is unques
tionably the most difficult of the
new dances. Perhaps that Is why
some people still maintain that they
"do not l'ke It." Otheis, never hav
ing seen It, declare it "shocking "
On broad general pilnclplcs. it Is
human to dlsappiove of that which
Is beyond our understanding or abil
ity. We like best the games we play
best. And so for n long time society
looked askance upon the tango.

Xor Is the tango as difficult as It
was at first supposed. More difficult
than the old-fashioned two-step, es.
Certainly more difficult than the
one-step. But once you get Into the
swing and rhythm of music more
nllut Ing than a Viennese waltz well,
you are lost. More and more people
are becoming proficient in the varia
tions ofthis South American dance.
Take Lesson From Authority.
I would like to ndd a word of
warning to those who take lessons
In the tango, and that Is: Take your
lessons, If possible, from some ona
who has danced professionally in
Tarls, because there aro so many
good dancers thero that anybody
who can dance the tango (and get
paid for It) In Paris must really be
a good dancer. American teachers
go abroad for a few weeks, take a
few lebsons In the Abaye or some
of the other places which live on the
American tourist, come back home,
and. having forgotten all they learn
ed coming over, start In teaching.
There aie otheis who go to one of
our seaside towns, such as Narra
gansett, and read of a new dance
and begin teaching it. There is, un
fortunately, no way of stopping
these people. You can onl pay your
J2fi an hour. If you don't learn the
dance, vou get a little eterclso and
a lot of experience.
The most Important thing about
the tango Is Its tempo. Vou must,
before you can dance at all, under
stand and appreciate the music, and
the best way to lcatn this is to walk
(with or without a partner) In tljrie
to It. By doing this jou impiess
upon oui8elf that It is a slow dance,
and that it should be simple and
not full of Jerky and complicated
fctepr.
This walking to tango time is not
as easy as it may seem; it should
be practiced frequently, eo as to
make it smooth. The shoulders
must not go tip and down, the body
must glide along all the time with
out any stops. It Is correct either
How to Absorb ait

beauty must have a satin-smooth skin,

able substance literally absorbs the un
sightly cuticle, a little each day, the
clear, healthy, girlish pkln beneath
gradually peeping out until within a
wtek or so It Is wholly In evidence. Of
course, such blemishes as chaps,
freckles, moth patches, liver spots,
blotches and pimples are discarded with
the old hkln. If you will procure an
ounce of mercollzed wax at the drug

washing tills off mornings, you'll find It
,i veiitable wonder-worker.

to walk on votir hel and toe or
Just on the ball ot the foot, hut the
Argeiiiiiiei nearly all seem to walk
flat-foot, oi else they step out on
thir heM first. 1 advise dancers
to do what is the easiest for them,
for when one Is walking comforta
bly It Is easier to do the steps nat
ural!. The til st step to master,
and one of the most difficult, Is the
Coi tez
The Cortez.
Let us suppose that the gentle
mun is walking backward and the
lady forward (the position Is exact
ly the same as In the commence
ment of all the dances 1 have ex
plained to far). Now when you aro
ready to do the Cortez you paus
for two counts on the left foot. Now
the i Ight foot passes back of the
left lor one count. The left shifts
to the s-lde n few Inches tor one
count, and the right does the same
thing foi one count (keeping be
hind the left). Thus five counts
have leen occupied, and the feet
should have shifted to the music in
this way, provided, of course, that
the music is very simple.
The lady's part of this step Is, of
course, just the opposite. She pauses
tor two counts on her right foot,
going forward, her feet following
the gentleman's as closely as pos
sible without ti ending on him.
V on must not be discouraged over
this step. It Is very difficult to do
smoothly, and you will not get it
without a gieat deal of patience and
tiouble. Indeed, many good dancers
have never mastered it at ail. and
probably never will. But that Is be
cause thoy do not appreciate its dif
ficulty or are unwilling to give the
necessary time to the step. It can
be done, and done well, by any one
who has patience enough to learn it
To get it perfect you should do sev
eral steps ot the Cortez and then
walk, and then go back again Into
the Cortez. If you can do this you
have practically mastered the Tango

they do the promenade htep, the man
with the right turnlnc Inward, cross

and can be finished with the Cortez

This step Is begun with n Cortez.
The man turns the lady so that she
walks backward tluee straight steps,

t-teps at the light side of tho lady.
Keeping this position, the man walks
backward three straight steps, the

Tills fs a veiy pretty step in the
tango.
The best way to go into It is fiom
the promenade. The gentleman
Ftands still and crosses the right
foot over the left, having the weight
of the body equally distributed on
both feet. The lad docs a single
btep (just like tho single htep In the
maxlxe) right around the gentleman.
Tills will, of course, turn the man
around, and in doing so uncross his
feel; when this is done the lady
puts her light foot slowly forward
and the man his left foot slowly
back, and thev go into Cortez. By
practlcinc this step well you will
find It quite possible for the lady
to make a complete line around the
gentleman, but It depends greatly
on his balance, and if he finds his
feet getting wound up again all he
has to do is to lift the left foot up
and place it at tho back for the
Cortez. Care should be taken to go
into and out of this step vrr slow
ly, easily, and deliberated .
