Dear Steve,
Sometimes it takes a while for me to get the old brain into gear.
A while back (I didn't bothered to search) you asked what dance styles 
were shown on the labels of the ODJB records indicating a recommended 
dance tempo.
Or something like that.
I filed it away in the back of what is left of my brain and just 
remembered that I hadn't replied.
Here is the answer for the following ODJB records:
Victor 18255	Livery Stable Blues/Dixie Jazz Band One-Step"
(The first jazz record.)  26 Feb 1917
Victor 18483	"Sensation/Bluin' The Blues"	25 June 1918
Victor 18717	"Margie/Palesteena"		1-4 Dec 1920
All have    For Dancing   on the label.
Kind regards,
Bill.
