G. Hepburn Wilson
George Hepburn Wilson (June 17, 1875 – ?) was an American dance instructor and a writer and editor of Modern Dance magazine.[1][2] He also supervised jazz recordings by Prince's Band.[3] He was the first dance master to advertise widely in the newspapers for individual pupils.[4] Wilson was at odds with the established American National Association of Masters of Dancing, describing the foxtrot and the one-step as dances of a bygone age and advocating jazz dancing, the ramble and the toddle.[5]
