HE CHALIF NORMAL SCHOOL OF DANCING IS located in New York City, at 7 West 42nd Street, and teaches dancing, especially its higher forms, to dancing teachers, exhibition dancers, playground and recreation supervisors and public school teachers, and teachers of physical training. Its work with these classes has met with tremendous success. "Chalif dancing" and school which radiates it have come into a North American reputation, now becoming international. This popularity is due, we would say, to four factors, which are: 1st: CHALIF DANCING This is the classic art taught by the Imperial Ballet School of "Missia (of which Mr. Chalif is a graduate), adapted and simplified, without debasement or weakening, for use in American dancing academies and schools. The work, very difficult steps and minute detail have been treated as separate branches, but almost all of its beauty of the original, and quite all of its spirit and scope have been retained. The result is an art which, while allowing an amateur to make rapid progress, is yet authentic, beautiful, utterly captivating: the student, and furthermore bringing health, knowledge of racial character, alertness, grace, and a soul-deep development efthetically. The adaptation of Classic dancing has not been attempted by "Chalif School only, but by it with the most outstanding success, in three particulars. First, the use of the Arms and the body has been kept equally important with the use of the Second, in National, Demi-character and Folk dancing the final Character of each race is really... preserved. Third, a thorough regard is had for the proprieties, so that although Chalif dancing no sense stilled, yet all of it is suitable for offering to all of the American public. When taught to teachers it includes more than this, for an excellent training in Pedagogy is furnished. By the time of graduation, ordinary student is a completely equipped teacher of Chalif and The third factor in the immense success of this School has been the experience and teaching ability of its principal. From years of age a student in the Imperial Ballet School of Russia, in Moscow, then successively a solo stage dancer, ballet master at the Odessa government theater, instructor of dancing in leading New York private schools and director of the Chalif Normal School, his experience has been long, complete, and invaluable to his pupils... A certain ability at teaching has also made the school popular, although it has prevented the use of assistants, since it has been found that the students will listen to no one else while the principal is on the floor. The position of the school in the uptown transportation center of New York, "the most popular summer resort in the country," has helped its enrollment. 4th: THE MOVEMENT FOR ARTISTIC DANCING which is more and more ascendant in this country, is the final cause for the fame of the Chalif School. Everywhere there is a demand for the real dancing, and here one can be trained to teach it COURSES Each year during June and July there is a normal school with courses all day, both in the regular Chalif and Ballroom work and in Pantomime, festival ballets. Toe-dancing, etc. And similar sessions are held during a fortnight of the Christmas holidays and on Saturdays and some week-day afternoons throughout the winter. Catalogs of any of these, or of our dancing teachers' shoe and supply house, will be sent with pleasure, on application.
