than the sentimental types ,of "dancing" we loved so much. But there are some offshoots of "the twist" now, which are not quite in this same harmless category. "The surf," and "!he dog" are at least one _step lower than "the twist" could ever get. And there are others. Real Purpose Actually, some of these off shoots of the twist compare quite favorably to the sort of dance which had previously been re stricted to honky-tonks and strip joints, and where o~ly the most down-and':'ou,t of paid en tertainers would attempt them. The obvious purpose of such dances was not "fun," or any thing like it. Every bald-headed paunchy customer, and every simple tourist who bought a ticket knew better than that. No, th,e purpose, as you and! I know so well, was simply to arouse pas sion, and nothing else. The ,pr-o fessional entertainer who did these dances couldn't have got ten the job otherwise. Another thing that gives me quite a chuckle is that these "fads" are started, not by life's successes, but by it!; failures the drop-Quts, the guys with, nothing better to do, the charac ters with no job and those who will never need a job, the "en tertainer" who needs a gimmick to keep from extinction. Innocent Little Girls It never ceases to ,amaze me that these kids can indulge in the sort of dancing which all the old pros know is calculated only to arouse human passion, with.. out ever ,tumblin'g to this fact until it's too late. Oh, the boys sense this, ,but some of these innocent little ,gifls seem 'to think they're ,only doing 'something cute but harm less. If they only knew, huh? The ironical thing is that this seems to give them .a certain type of flattedng "popularity." If they could only 'hear the way this "popularity" is described in bull sessions, huh? ' Keep the real teens, the gen uinely bright and maturing enes from being heard. You 'run across a lot of them who think like this girl writes for ,instance: "I don't twist even though I like to dance fast. I can see _ where it migh~ have possible bad effects on my partner or on any girl's partner. This wouldn't happen very likely in the milder forms of the twist; but one isn't considered a 'good twister, a champion twister unless ,one gets very twisty. "The twistier one gets, ,the better 'twister he or llhe is; but the twistier ways ,ar{~ certain1,,: the suggestive w.ays. I ' knO'lIV' some 'of ,my best fri,ends, Giles who are ~xeelIent CatholiCs, see no wreng in twisting; "Really;r think they.arenaive. They don't know, the 'score about boys; Even the best, fellows , are ,stili human, an41 if they don't react at the way some girls twist, they ,.are either kidding tiiemselves, or, they' .;lren:t n.~r ~.".,
