“The ultimate aim of all dance

must be to move the whole being together in harmony.

 Therefore, having made the body sensitive,

let it be swept by rhythm: the rhythm of music,

by moving to a good swinging simple tune;

the rhythm of nature,

 by floating in the sea,

and surrendering to the will of the waves;

or by lying on the branches of a tree in the wind

to feel its effortless swaying.

In this way the outer and the inner being will be harmonized.”
