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

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

The peoples influenced by the animal dance have a variety of movements and dance with enthusiasm; those who do not know the animal dance have few movements and show little zest for dancing.

The superhuman power which exhiliration and hypnosis bring to a dancer is shown especially clearly in his almost inconceivable staying powers in a state of high tension. "In the dance even the weakest can do wonders."

Every dance is and gives ecstasy.

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.

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