THE ART OF DANCING

THE ART OF DANCING

Stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person.

The art of building or architecture is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite.

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself.

For the artist life is always a discipline and no discipline can be without pain.  That is so even of dancing, which of all arts is most associated with pleasure.

To Learn to dance is the most austere of disciplines.

Dancing provides a dual mean of satisfying the longing for a sense of group fellowship, and the wish for the individual to display himself to fullest advantage.

Dancing as an art, we may be sure cannot die out, but will always be undergoing rebirth.

Not merely as an art but also as a social costume,  it perpetually emerges a fresh from the soul of the people –

Poem by Havelock Ellis
