No pretense or apology.
There are two kinds OF Spanish
dances. The real old, classical ones are
all of Greco-Latin origin, such as the
Sevillian, the Peternas, the Jota, the Sc
guedillas and the Bolero. They can be
compared to certain dances OF the sey-
enteenth century French, and come from
Cadiz, where there was a Greco Roman
colony. They the pure Spanish
dances academic in character made OF
and noble movements and attitudes which
you will find on the Greek vases. They

dances of politeness and society"
He hesitated.

Egypt, and they certainly have no touch

trepidations, stamping OF the feet like
