foxtrot in Soviet Culture

[Edythe Haber]

Dear Julie,
 
There is a rather curious sketch by Teffi entitled "Zashchitnyi tsvet," in her collection Rys' (Berlin, 1923), which describes the grotesque dancing during the revolutionary period, then looks upon the foxtrot as a worldwide threat, a precursor of world revolution.  I don't know if this is useful.
 
Best,
Edythe Haber

Greetings, SEELANGers!

I am wondering if anyone might be able to recommend sources that mention the dance the foxtrot in the context of Soviet culture (either its popularization or condemnation).  Feel free to respond off-list.

Many thanks in advance,

Julie
