Dancing the new smooth Charleston has been accomplished in an air liner at a height of 2000 ft. This is the first time that dancing has been attempted in the air. The experiment carried out at Croydon aerodrome in one of the London-Paris-Ar-gosy machines belonging to Imperial Airways, and throughout the dancing the machine kept perfect poise. Mr Richard Granville, a leading exponent of the dance, and Babettc, his partner, first gave an exhibition. A space was cleared in the cabin, which as a rule accommodates _2O passengers, and the music was supplied by a gramophone. Afterwards Mr Granville gave a lesson to a passenger.
