How Dancing Will Make You Symmetrical
Exercises

more muscles kept in use at the same
time, the more flexible is the body
High kicking is the best thing in the
world for keeping the waist slight and
trim. Try a skipping movement 10
get the idea, and skip around the
room about ten times, making the step
higher each time. OF course, this
dancing movement must be systemat-
ically kept up If results are looked for.
Kicking with the arm movement Is
more difficult, but even more beneh-
cial, because more muscles are
brought into play
ANY movement with the arms has
direct effect upon the shoulders,
rounding them ont and making them
Arm.
But perhaps the best thing about
this combination of the arm and leg
movement is the fact that the more
frequently 1t is 'practiced the more
perfect Is the distribution of weight
over the whole body. and therefore
the certainty Of always maintaining
the correct equilibrium is assured.
This is Of great Importance to the
dancer; 1t is one Of the first steps to
success on the long road, but / think
II should be Of benefit to almost every
healthy, wide awake girl of to-day.
There are so many times when we
need poise. mainly because 1t Is the
thing for the American girl to indulge
in all kinds OF active sports.
In my next article will try to show
the difference between the benefit der
rived from the ordinary ballroom
dances and the more active dance
movements, which, in their funda-
mental steps, / have outlined briefly
in this article.
And then 1t will be easier to under
stand what l mean by symmetry Of
mind and body. The cause of the
thing that is to be corrected must be
ascertained before the remedy can he
decided upon, and the effect of the
treatment can only be determined aft
