FOLK DANCING

For folk dancing is the loftiest
most moving and most beautiful of
the arts because it is no mere trans.
lation or abstraction from life, it is
life itself; it is the only art of which
we ourselves are the stuff. Ellis.
The revival of the folk dance is not
a mere fad of cultivated persons but
natural renaissance of an ancient
art which for a time has been unnat-
urally neglected. We are apt to think
of dancing as an amusement which
has no significance whatever and in
ded there is very little in the ball
room dances. They are the degen-
eracy of an art which deserves to be
taken as seriously as any art since
any able-bodied person can practice
it and anyone who takes a healthy
delight in expression can enjoy it. AS
in poetry the language of common
life is my means of rhythm given new
power, so in the dance the movements
of common life attain the same power
by subjecting themselves to the same
rhythmical laws. "The dance is glor.
/ flied movement as poetry is glorifieC
| speech"
Miss Marguerite Porter will open
classes il. folk dancing on Oct. 1st
Anyone wishing to see her about the
courses can phone 164 or call at heI
