A choral dance: an attempt to impose upon a chance gathering of a few dozen guests a communal feeling.

Rhythmic motion has become the carrier and creator of almost every ecstatic mood of any significance in human life.

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

Music as a whole, in its overwhelming wealth and endlessness, is inaccessible unless we free ourselves from the limitations of our own restricted training.

The only information we have about the early history of the dance comes to us from the rock paintings created by primitive man tens of thousands of years ago in what is now France.

In the earliest cultures any tie between the dancers is slight. In a higher level the choral dancers almost always touch one another and thus force themselves into the same stride and the same movement. The closer the contact, the stronger is the social character of the choral.

Although the circle dance is known throughout the entire world, the front dance is limited to the cultures of which the rectangular hut is a part.
