Certain common principles underlie the many systems and

methods of modern dancing and in this inspirational book the author

endeavors to give a fldl explanation of the modern dance. The distin-

guishing characteristics--what it is made of and how it differs from

other types of dance--form the starting point. The author naturally

follows this with a discussion of dance form and the relation which

exists between the dance and other arts. The modern dance is defined

as "those types of dancing which are neither classic or romantic."

Teachers and studeilts will find this book invaluable in grasping a

clear understandi ag of this splendid new movement of the dance.
