Contains over 700 Figures. 210 Pages

It is presumed that .the Cotillion offers a greater variety of entertainment, combined with enjoyment and recreation, than any other form of dancing. The Twentieth Century Cotillion book con tains many unique and interesting figures, popular games on a large scale, attractions, surprises and the large number of figures will giv« teachers of dancing an opportunity to select what may particularly appeal to them and to their patrons. Favors, properties and sou venirs may be used to advantage in many of the figures described.

The illustrations were prepared with care and with a desire to assist teachers in successfully dancing the figures illustrated. Many of th« figures require no illustrations, and the selection of short, medium or long figurues may be made. The Cotillion and the German are explained in this valuable book and to appreciate its merits, a copy, neatly bound, should be in the library of every teacher of dancing, ready for use when occasion requires.
