CREEPING CAT LATEST STEP

Introduced to Rival the Long Popular Fox Trot—Simple and Easily Acquired. New York. —If you would be all there in the ballroom it is quite likely you will have to know El Chat. This Is the very latest shuffle, and In plain English is known as the cat step. El Chat may be classed as .a dignified ballroom dance. The movement throughout its three variations Is slow and calls’ for a creeping motion that may have Inspired its caption. There also Is just a touch of the kittenish to it when the at the end of the second movement, rise to their toes and wiggle their heels. It Is a simple, graceful dance, easily acquired. It Is intended,to take Its place with the fox trot, one-step and modern modification of the waltz, but is no relation whatever to the dance Jim Crow. Alexis Kosloff, who danced with the Russian imperial ballet during the regime of the late czar, is the originator of the cat step.
