Promenade - Seven Cowboy Dances
This little booklet plays on the popularity of square dancing as introduced by Lloyd and his Cheyenne Mountain Dancers. The booklet was released by Women's Home Companion, a popular monthly magazine with circulation of some four million in the 1930s, evidence of a spreading interest in square dance. The introduction begins, "We hope this collection of dances described by Lloyd Shaw wiill help you in planning an evening of fun. Your school group might add variety to the usual dance program by introducing some of these squares."
After introductory information, Shaw provides detailed descriiptions of seven dances. The text for each includes patter that will be familiar to anyone who's listened to Shaw's recordings. The dances:
Form a Star
Ladies to the Center (Texas Star)
Lady Round the Lady
Two Gents Swing with the Elbow Swing
I'll Swing Your Girl You Swing Mine
Forward Six and Fall Back Six
Forward Six and Fall Back Eight
Subjects: Traditional Western (pre-1940)
