Thanks to Cin, Lavolta Press, and Katy Bishop for their prompt and helpful 
messages. It should be fun working out some moments of these for Henry Ford and 
President Warren G. Harding to do together—should be quite an effect, judging 
from the videos!

Best wishes to all for a lovely Summer by the Sea.

Have a great time!  Wish I was there, but I just did Costume College & it's
a one-or-the-other choice.  BTW, you'll love Richard's new Skittles
Quadrilles. I really enjoyed being part of the dance team as he & Nick Enge
were working on those.
For the rest of you, if you ever need a full week of amazing historic dress
& dine & dance: GO!

Re: [h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors

[Lavolta Press]

They're absolutely real, but all my dance books are packed for moving. 
For the 1920s they are old fashioned, 1890s is more like it.  But Henry 
Ford was  into promoting old-fashioned dances.

[Lavolta Press]

The Newport and the Ripple are not the same dance. Try Melvin Ballou 
Gilbert's 1890s dance manual "Round Dancing" for instructions.

They're the same thing & used when waltz music gets absurdly fast at the
turn of the previous century.  This should get you started:
http://www.libraryofdance.org/dances/   Search for the dance name & there's
video.

[h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors

[ruthan...@mindspring.com]

Hello the list, after so long…

Doing a play (“Camping with Henry and Tom”) where the character Henry Ford 
refers to two dances:  The Ripple and The Newport. A quick Google doesn’t 
yiield anything. Did the playwright just make up these dance names, or were 
they real dances around 1920? I’d very much like to hear from any reenactor who 
has danced one or both, or even heard of one or both.

Any help appreciated!
