This dance, which originated with the cockney costers on the pavements of Lambeth Borough, is becoming universally popular. Lupino Lane made it a feature of his successful show "Me and My, Girl," and since then it has spread rapidly from' London to the provinces. It has crossed the Channel to France and the Atlantic to the United States, and now patrons of Shanghai dance halls are doing the Lambeth Walk. That it has received the Royal seal of approval (the King and Queen danced the Lambeth Walk with their tenants and staff at Balmoral early last month) makes its popularity assured. 3 The dance is quite simple, as the illustrations show: (1) The partners (man on left) strut forward, cockney style, with free arms swinging jauntily, for eight steps. (2) Partners link right arms and swing for four steps, strutting in a circle. (3) After the right swing, partners quickly reverse, link their left arms and strut in a circle to the left, taking four more Steps. (4) Partners then separate, turbing away from each other and taking four very short steps in a circle. On the fourth count they face each other. (5) Then with heels together, the partners bend their knees, lean forward and slap their thighs in time to the music, accompanying these actions with shouts of "ai" or "Oh," which are also yelled during the struts. (6) -The dance ends with both partners straightening up, pointing both thufhbs over their shoulders and yelling "Hey Hotel favourite spot f The Lambeth Walk h the international become popular on aph Prince Serge-Obolensky introduced the oughout.the city.
