About this book
Modern Dancing and Dancers is by J. E. Crawford Flitch, M.A., author of Mediterranean Moods, with eight illustrations in colour and many in black and white. The text says it was doubtless owing to its close connection with religion that the dance in ancient times was invested with so great dignity. The text says the Egyptian dances were full of esoteric meaning, and that the name given to the dancing-women was Awalim, the wise or learned ones.
The text says performers have already been seen upon the stage who, in the name of Greek art, race and romp rather than dance. The text says the classical dance has its hidden law, which is perhaps more difficult than that of the ballet because it is more secret. The text says the old Morris was the expression of a mode of life that has passed away, and that some newer variation more fitted to express the spirit of a broader and fuller life must be developed out of it.
