Re: [h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors
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. —Ruth Anne > On Aug 4, 2016, at 1:31 PM, Cin wrote: > > Have a great time!

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.

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

Re: [h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors
The Newport and the Ripple are not the same dance. Try Melvin Ballou Gilbert's 1890s dance manual "Round Dancing" for instructions.

Re: [h-cost] Question for 1920s reenactors
In vintage dance circles we've done the Newport and the Ripple--they are real 1890s dance steps. The NEwport (sort of a limping step: NewportLeap back left, across LOD (gents) with a quarter turn, Side right and close, Side right and Close, Leap forward right (gents) with a quarter turn, Side left and close, Side left close..i.e.: {1&2&3,4&5&6}.

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