It was then that my religious consciousness emerged to flower years afterward into definite forms of religious dancing in which there is no sense of division between spirit and flesh, religion and art.

It is not a question of who dances but of who or what does not dance.

I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.
