meantime bending the body forward.
That means that the movements Of the
feet and body are directly opposite. This
contrary movement is in itself the most
beautiful thing in the dance. At the
same time the girl bends her body for
ward, then backward.
The third and fourth counts of the
first movement are a repetition Of the
same thing, the steps Of the first and
second counts only beginning with the
other foot and reversing the body
movements
Thus it 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
of the body: the steps in themselves are
very simple-it is suppIeness and agil-
ity that must be attained
