The year is 1932. Frederick Ashton is living in Earls Court and
Anton Dolin ('will ere long be proclaimed the rival and successor
of Nijinsky') in bohemian Chelsea. Ninette de Valois is hobnobbing
with the Bloomsbury Group, while little Alicia Markova is exiled to
North Kensington. Less illustrious figures are running dancing
schools everywhere from Glasgow to Truro. Across the channel Serge
Lifar ('who possesses an important collection of pictures by
well-known artists connected with the ballet') is lording it at the
Paris Opera, while Danilova and Balanchine are cohabiting in the
17th arrondissement. Harald Kreutzberg can be found in Hamburg,
Rudolf Laban in Berlin, and Serge Grigorieff in Monte-Carlo. Back
in Great Britain, The Casani School of Dancing will guarantee you a
career as a Dancer or Hostess, earning 5 to 10 a week, after a
series of 150 private lessons at a most reasonable cost, and D.
Walter and Co will sell you an automatic revolving spotlight ('the
most wonderful lighting effect ever produced') for a mere 5 15s 6d.
You can ensure youthful natural contours when dancing with the aid
of a Kestos Brassiere, and at 102 Charing Cross Road Princess
Yvonne will furnish you with a set of rather risque photographs to
further your career. As well as a long biographical section, the
directory includes a list of dance associations round the world,
details of stage dancing competitions and lists of the Dancing
Times Cup winners and Ballroom Competition winners. It provides a
fascinating glimpse of the dance world in days gone by.
