Tonight's the night that can start your downfall - Registration is open! +++ 'Cause here you can see at one glance that right after entering a dance hall you might find yourself in a hotel room with an almost stranger... +++ Caption (by Mark Knowles): This illustration, entitled "Dangerous Amusements - The Brilliant Entrance to Hell Itself" contained the caption "Young girls who have danced at home a little are attracted by the blazing lights, gaiety and apparent happiness of the 'dance halls', which in many instances lead to their downfall." From 'Fighting the Traffic in Young Girls or War on the White Slave Trade' by Ernest A. Bell (1910)

Whilst we learned yesterday that the young gentlemen of the late 19th century was drawn to rather pleasant things such as gambling and attending the theatre after starting to dance, here comes the female option. And that's - of course - less fun +++ Caption (by Mark Knowles): Showing that frequenting the dance hall can lead to unwanted pregnancy, this illustration carried the caption "The tragic climax of this young life was not reached in one step, but led there by easy stages through the fascination of the dance hall." From 'From the Dance Hall to White Slavery; The World's Greatest Tragedy' by H W. Lytle and John Dillon (1912). +++ Be aware!

Before registering for the new classes please let me warn you: As demonstrated in the last video, couple dancing can lead to the abulic indulgence into countless other temptations. This fact has been known since waltzing has become a thing in the 19th century. So let me show you my favorite quotes and illustrations collected by Mark Knowles in his very recommendable book 'The Wicked Waltz and Other Scandalous Dances: Outrage at Couple Dancing in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries'. +++ THE HABIT OF DANCING WILL NOT AID US TO RESIST OTHER TEMPTATIONS +++ Caption: This illustration found in Jas. H. Brookes' anti-dance treatise The Modern Dance (189-?) suggests that yielding to the temptation of dancing can lead to other transgression such as drinking, gambling, and attending the theatre. +++ Now you know!
