The Brazilian Maxixe and Other New Dances
Described by Adelaide, of the Jardin de Danse.

in his, the girls left hand in the
mans right hand, simply facing each
other. They make the same steps
together. but with opposite feet, The
entire meaning of the dance is re-
vealed in this one fact It is the
most importans thing to remember in
the whole movement.
On the first count of the music the
mn slides his left foot forwari,
draws his right foot near from the
left, sliding Immediately the left foot
forward again, and benGi-~ the right
knee. The girl does the same back
ward This is really a. double move
ment forward with the left foot, with
a slight bend of the right knee, bring
ing the right foot off the floor.
on the second count the man
touches the floor slightly with the
point Of his right foot and bends the
body slightly backward. and then
points his foot in the opposite direc-
ton, backward, in the meantime
bending the body forward. That
means that the movements Of the
feet and body are directly opposite.
This contrary movement is in itself
one Of the most beautiful things in the
dance At the same time the girl
bends her body forward, then back
Y I'd.
The third and fourth counts Of the
first movement are a repetition of the
same thing, the ste of the first and
second counts only beginning with
the other foot and reversing the body
movements
Thus 1t can be seen that there IS
nothing at all difficult about this first
movement. The hardest thing about
the dance lies in the swaying graCe
