The author resided in Dearborn, Michigan and belonged to the Dearborn Historical Society. A new Henry Ford emerges - a lighthearted, toe-tapping automaker who dances gracefully as Benjamin B. Lovett, the dance master, chants an exhilarating quadrille or directs an elegant Strauss waltz. The Fords especially liked the quadrille, the waltz, schottische and varsovienne. Henry Ford enjoyed the old-fashioned dances of his youth and was convinced everyone, young and old, should likewise enjoy them. To accomplish this revival of old-fashioned dancing, Ford hired Benjamin B. Lovett to teach the calls and the steps. For years in Dearborn, dancing quadrilles and cotillions at the monthly Ford parties became obligatory for anyone who expected to associate socially with Henry and Clara Ford. Benjamin Basil Lovett enjoyed music, became an accomplished clarinet player, and spent his summers with a musical group at Martha's Vineyard. Lovett became well enough known to become president of the International Association of Masters of Dancing. Ford had induced the Lovetts to move to Dearborn, where they were to organize dancing programs for both adults and children.
