Only the tango has continued to enjoy undiminished favor for more than twenty years in spite of polishing and refinement. To be sure, it is no pure Negro dance and owes its best qualities to the unusual dance talents of the Spaniards.

In dance, even the weakest can do wonders.

A person can be danced. In all continents the dancers carry little children on their shoulders.

Wherever there are four walls, consciousness of direction is far keener.

The adult who puts his arm around his companion in the ballroom, and the child in the roadway, skipping in a round dance - they forget themselve, they dissolve the weight of earthly contact and the rigidity of daily existence. The soul slips into a twilight stage.

The dance lives in all mankind as a necessary motor-rhythmic expression of excess energy and the joy of living.

Whatever the nature of dance, it needs no onlooker, not even a single witness.
