and it was in the sensuous dances
that the Greeks revealed. They had
repugnance to self-denial, and were
not afraid of losing personal dignity
by the liveliness of their dancing.
The feelings for the rhythmical,
the recurrence of regular, proper
tional and measured beats, was high
ly cultivated and enjoyed by the
Greeks. The order and proportion
observed in movement is rhythm; in
relation to sound it is called har-
mony, and in Greece the connection
of rhythm with harmony is expressed
by the word "orchesis," for which we
have no English equivalent. as it
means both the dance and the music
the married pair" as Lucian calls
them.
This union was first made by the
voice-for what could be more nat
ural than to add rhythmical move
ments to a song or poem? Every
accentuation of verse was accompa-
MED by step in the orchestic repre-
sensations. Step and gesture were
interviewer with poetry, and to dance
in rhythm to the verse was the same
thing as to read it out in true
measure.
Gestures of arms and hands were
at first considered more important
than the movements of the feet.
Dancers in Greece we're called
"Cheirosophi, skilled with the hands,
and number and cadence throbbed in
every one of their exercises.
The Athenians we're especially fond
of dancing, and they were not only
eloquent in speech, but also in gest-
ures, mostly of the hands and arms.
The poets taught cheironomia, the
art of gesture, as Fart of the study
OF the classic dance. q was said of
Telestes, a dancer in the theatre of
Aeschylus, that he was so skilled in
the Cheironomia that he represented
in the dance the Seven Before The
bes." Sostratus is said to have re-
fused to give the dance Liberty" be-
fore the conquerors of his native
town because it was no longer free.
Dancing was inextricably inter
woven with the religion of the Greeks
and no festival or entertainment was
complete without the appropriate
dancing. In the early ages it was
kept up to high standard, and Ho-
mer calls sleep, love, music and
dancing the sweetest and the most
perfect of all human enjoyments, but
he dignifies the last only by the
epithet 'blameless."
In his time this was doubtless
true, but as the times changed the
dances became a reflection of the
degenerate morals, and they, too, be-
came degenerate. Athenaeus says
that dancing was brought to such
perfection in initiating the passions
that the most eminent sculptors often
took their models and designs from
the attitudes of the public dancers,
and thus produced that great beauty
and grace of form and figure which
have never been surpassed in the
history of the world. These marvel
lous figures and postures have come
to be the models and studies of the
dancers of all succeeding ages.
Probably it is because the old Greek
sculptors were so heroic in their
ideals that the popular dances of
that day-the Grecian Tango and
Turkey Trot-figure in so few of
their works.

1t was considered the height of i'm
politeness for any guest to refuse to
dance, and every one had to know
how-another Turkey Trot analogy.
The Symposium of the Greeks was
undoubtedly the original of our ban
quets enlivened by the introduction
of entertainers, and the degeneration
OF the Symposia when the guests
arose from the tables and Joined the

ing the famous clue, or thread, fol-
lowing Ariadne, and the maidens
danced in serpentine fashion after
him.
This dance was introduced in the
festival of Apollo at Delos, and those
who distinguished themselves re-
ceived valuable tripods which they
dedicated to the gods, the names of
the victors being proclaimed by two
heralds. This great Delian festival
was held every five years in the
Spring. Artemis was first worshipped
and then Apollo. The maidens of
Delos, crowned with flowers and
garbed in festal attire, danced to
joyful chcruses round the affairs of
the two deities, and set forth in
sacred ballets the story of the birth
of Apollo and Artemis.
Nobody in ancient Greece was too
highly honored by the nation or per-
sonalIy too dignifed to dance. Not
even Socrates-though he had in
Zantippe a jealous virago for a wife.

robes They had an owl dance,
satirical dance, consisting in shading
the eyes with the hands or in turn
ing the head to and fro like an OWL
danced in couples like the Turkey
Trot
But these classic dances took on
new abandon and extreme sensuous-
ness under the influence of the Ioni-
ans, who introduced many volup-
tuous dances which they had brought
from Syria. The Phrygians and Ly-
dams adopted all the new dances
quickly and Athens went mad over
them. The musicians played the
lutte and cythara, and when they en-
tered a banquet hall, followed by the
band of young maidens, the entire
company arose and tegan to dance.

by the Greeks, who classified
their dances somewhat as follows:
Kubistic, including leaping and aero
batic feats; Spenistic, rhythmical
movements accompanying ball-throw-
ing; orchestic, or dancing proper, as
we understand 1t.
A kind of warlike dance called
gymnopaidia was performed by two
groups of children, or youths, quite
nude, singing hymns, and marching,
skipping and whirling. Sometimes
there were three choruses, as among
the Lacedaemonians when verses ac-
companied the dance. The old men
sang:
We once were young and gay like
you,
Valiant, bold and active, too"
The young men responded:

So we know that the Greeks were

Homer describes certain dances in

Z TOT excepting the Tango, the

nothing new under the sun in the

years ago. For proof of which state

arms and hands as much or more
than by the movements of the legs
and swaying Of the body. 1t was in
the later development, or rather de-
generacy of manners and morals, that
the dancing was made more volup-
tuous, and the ancient forms of the
Tango and Turkey Trot were intro
duced from the Ionian Islands, they
having learned these dances from the
mainland to the East.
To the Greek the dance stood for
an idea, and he tried to make plain
any idea at all, whether elevating or
degrading, by the movements of the
dance. His war dances were more
like marches, with posturing and all
of the action of attacking, feinting
and fleeing, and some of these were
even adapted to the use of war
horses, so we would hardly call them
dances at ali.
The nearest to the Turkey Trot
that the ancient Greeks came was
probably in the Geranos, or Crane
Dance. This represents the intrica-
cies of the Cretan Labyrinth from
which Theseus was rescued by Ari-
adne. This dance is pictured on an
ancient vase showing the hero hold

and woman, with even less regard
for the feelings of the prudish of
their day-of which there were
none, by the vaughan is exhibited

any Coney Island dance hall.
Yet the Tango, the Turkey Trot
and so forth have achieved vast
popularity without the slightest ex-
cuse or claim for them that they
actually inherited part of the "glory
that was Greece" Apparently their
reason for being was inherent in
them, due to an origin in natures
1nconsciously rhythmical moving cVea-
tures-just as similar dances of the
Aancient Greeks originated.

Greece was form of worship and
a branch of education, it did not
