Synopsis
Excerpt from Ęsthetic Dancing
With the development of this subjective power of neuro-muscular control, the constant wave-like alterations of bodily positions are performed with a correspondingly decreasing effort. They acquire a semi-automatic character, the volitional element essen tial to voluntary movements being considerably sub dued. The various changes in posture follow upon a stimulus supplied by some guiding musical rhythm. This rhythm is the directing spirit and sways and moves the dancer much as the fallen leaves are whirled about, carried up and down and hither and thither by an evening breeze.
