1839 September, Personal Narrative of Tristram Dumps, Esq., “The New Monthly Magazine”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name), volume 62, number 225, page 132:

The famous 'cushion dance' was physically safer, though its association with flirtatious interaction ensured a measure of controversy.

The company in the emblem appears to be of a higher status than the villagers who dance the cushion dance in Tortworth, but the way in which the man approaches the seated woman, holding the cushion in one hand and doffing his hat with the other while he bows, is likely similar to the village version.

They all take partners and places for a cushion dance.

Lambeth Walk

Originally the name of a comic Cockney sketch and song, c. 1901, and later popularised as a dance in the 1937 theatrical production Me and My Girl and 1939 movie The Lambeth Walk; punning on Lambeth Walk, a street in the London suburb of Lambeth.

On her behalf he made a tour of Ireland introducing new dances, and was the first to demonstrate the Lambeth Walk, an adaptation of a dance from Lupino Lane's production "Me and My Girl."

1938 April 9, The West Australian, Perth, page 23, column 4:

The "Lambeth Walk" has become very popular in Kalgoorlie. When Rene Esler and Jerry McMorrow introduced it at a dance there, it proved a great success, and was repeated several times during the evening.

1938 October 26, The Daily News, Perth, page 11, column 5:

Boy, you should have seen me doin', doin' the Lambeth Walk.

1951 August 20, The Daily Telegraph, Sydney, page 12, column 2:

(preceded by definite article) A dance popular in the late 1930s in which the dancer imitates the exaggerated jaunty walk of a comic Cockney character of theatrical shows.

eskista

Ahmed was also appreciated for his talents as a showman, because he had no equal in letting loose the famous eskista, with the heaving quiver of the torso and shoulders, of which Ethiopians are so fond. Eskista is the dance of the Amharas, enhancing amorous repartee and expressing collective jubilation.

2002 August 1, Frank Tenaille, Music is the Weapon of the Future: Fifty Years of African Popular Music, Lawrence Hill Books, →ISBN, page 168:

One of Ethiopia's most popular traditional dances, eskista, which is said to have originated from the lower highlands of Ethiopia's Amhara region, exemplifies the type of multi-functionality that Martin (1967) acknowledges as it is performed in many different settings of the Ethiopian community.

2018 February 20, Adesola Akinleye, Narratives in Black British Dance: Embodied Practices, Palgrave Macmillan, →ISBN, page 195:

The Amhara people of Ethiopia have the Eskista, a celebratory dance that centres around movement in the shoulders and is said to be inspired by the movements of a snake.
