[78-L] Fw: Fox-trot

[David Lennick]

The Victor catalogs list dance records under various categories (there must be 
a million fox trots by 1926, for example) although I haven't seen Charleston as 
a separate dance step in the 1925 or '26 books. And I don't have anything 
earlier than 1919.

I'm looking for the dance 'suggestions', usually printed after or underneath the title, which were used to help sell records.  I.e. fox-trot, charleston, one-step.  etc.  I'm trying to determine more closely around what times these dances may have appeared, and how popular they were at a given time.  I'm particularly interested in any pre-1914 incidences of fox-trot, and any early/mid 20's designations of the charleston.   Does this info exist in any searchable form????
