Summer Normal School OF THE Vestoff - Serova Russian School of Interpretative Classic and Nature Dancing June 3rd to July 27th Inclusive

Dancing is taught at this school not only for the aesthetic training it gives, but as a means of physical development. The aim is to bring about perfect mental and phyiscal co-ordination. Our normal courses are particularly adapted for physical training, for dances are not taught by rote, but as a development from fundamentals, thus differing from most schools.

Instruction will be given by the strongest faculty in this country and a number of courses new to Americans interested in dancing will be included without any extra charge. Our free booklet "Dancing" awaits your inquiry.

Mons. M. Veronine Vestoff and Mile. Sonia Serova will not teach at any of the Dancing Conventions this year. Their studios will be the only place where their instruction may be had.

For those who cannot attend our courses in person, M. Vestoff and Mile. Serova have published two volumes, one on "Nature Dancing," the other on

"The Russian Imperial Method of Training a Dancer." They treat exhaust ively of these subjects, and will enable you to gain a comprehensive knowledge thereof Price, $5.00 per volume. AH Instruction at the School Under the Personal Supervision of M. VERONINE VESTOFF and MLLE.

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 give

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 figares illustrated. Many of the 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.
