Jazz Dancing Declared Degenerating by Masters at New York Convention
At the National Association of Dancing Masters meeting in New York, jazz steps are said to be fading. The crowd predicts tango, fox trot, straight waltz, canter and hesitation as the popular dances this winter. Chicago master Lewis H. Kretlow notes a trend toward graceful self instruction among youths and criticizes jazz music for degenerate dancing. Major Ned Gaynor and Miss Walz join in urging proper posture and decorum to restore grace, with Miss Walz citing a Philadelphia dance for 35 000 attendees. Shunning jazz dancing is urged to preserve decorum in society and to foster rhythm and beauty on the floor.
