The Aeroplane Waltz was
one of the most popular dances at the time and was often used in connection with the Hesitation
Waltz. Joan Sawyer helped make
this dance popular in the early 1910s and is a very pretty dance for Children. The Aeroplane
waltz was respectfully dedicated to Mr. Wm. P. Baltz, Philadelphia, PA. and was originally
danced to"Come Josephine in my Flying Machine," but can be any 3/4 tempo Waltz
with dancers in Tango dance position. The glide and dip
|
represented the aeroplane going over the mountain top and
down into the valley. Turn to the right or to the left with a Long
Boston, four measures. A waltz
may also be here substituted.
The Basic Step:
Glide L. F. forward (1), raise R. F. front (2), hop on L. F. in this position (3). Repeat
same with R. F. starting, one measure. Dancers take Closed Position by simply facing each
other. Glide L. F. to side (1), draw R. F. to it (2) (3). Then take a more exaggerated step
to the left with L. F. (1), draw R. F. to it (2) (3). This should be more of a dip.
