ABSTRACT
The dancing is to be considers an art, a creative art, it must be the expression of life, it must be the expression of the life of the dancer, and great or insignificant according to the dancer’s impressions and ability to express them. It is possible that what is natural to the artist is quite unnatural to the peasant, and using natural in the sense of primitive, the most advanced artist is always nearest to the primitive, not by accident, incompetence or ignorance, but by development. The most that any technique can do is to give the power of intelligent self–expression, but the form of expression must be open to unlimited variations if dancing is to be a living art and a real expression of life. It is that look at dancing from the visual point of view of the artist, seeing movements as combinations of shapes and lines, and ballets as pictures with the possibilities of actual movement added.
