The disappearing dance: maxixe's imperial erasure.
"category crisis" ... not the exception but rather the ground of culture itself."
(Garber 1992, 16)
In 1914, a revue at New York City's Winter Garden celebrated a fabulous dance, just then all the rage:
The other night a dear, old friend said, "A ball we will
attend!"
Said he'd show me all the latest dances to date
Promised me he wouldn't keep me out very late,
So we lost no time at all but we taxied to the hall.
First we did a "Tango," then did a "Trot," No "Hesitation" at
all.
Then he said, "Now Lilian, Let's do the Brazilian
And I will show you something new."
La-la la (etc.) Oh! what that man did do!
His arm went round my waist
But it wouldn't stay in place.
And every time we bent our knees
'Twas then I felt a run in my silk stocking,
how shocking!
While dancing Brazilian Max-cheese.
(Nazareth and Window 1914)
Sung to music by the Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, this amusing piece fed and reflected the appeal of the Afro-Brazilian set dance maxixe.
