ONE of the notable features of the modern dance is the diagonal track across the ballroom floor. This is due to the fact that in dancing the turns only three-quarters of a turn is made and, since the turn is begun on one of the diagonal lines of direction (that is, to wall diagonal or to centre diagonal) the turn will always finish with the man facing the other diagonal. It should be further noted that neither one turn or the other is repeated many times, as would be the case in "old-time" waltzing. In the lesson, which will be given by A. L. Leghorn from 3YA at 9.30 p.m. on Thursday, June 23, listener-learners will hear the reverse or left turn of the modern waltz described, and they will learn also how to link up the two turns, left and right, by means of the "changes."
