Dancing Bears..



Dancing is a craze on television.
Adults and children show their dancing skills and compete for prizes.
But dancing has been popular for a long time. About 1920, the famous Steiff company of Germany made dancing bears. The bears were dressed like humans and stitched together to make a couple. One couple was a 14-inch golden mohair boy and a 13-inch white mohair girl.
It must have been hard to make the teddy bears dance, but they seem to have special charm — because they sold for $20,900 recently.
