This silly dance is used to raise a laugh and lighten the spirits if a program is bogging down. It must be done with mock chivalry and a great deal of clowning. It is a favorite with one of my caller friends, but he prefers to use it with a new group who are not acquainted with it. In this case the man does not try for accumulative comedy as in the directions above, but is surprised and embarrassed at having to bow again and then again, and then having to swing again and again. The comedy arises from his discomfiture. |
