At some point during her time in London Oxenham joined the English Folk Dance Society (EFDS - it did not become the English Folk Dance and Song Society until much later). She then discovered how 'badly' she had been doing the dances - and teaching them! - as related in "The Abbey Girls Go Back to School" (published 1922). Everything that the 'Writing Person' [her on-page persona told Maidlin, Jen and Joy, in "The New Abbey Girls" (published 1923), about dancing, Grey Edward, and the Camp Fire had happened as described.
