The dance is its own justification. It needs no excuse, nor do
the
many millions who share its delights need to be told how
beneficial
it is to them. They know that they are healthier and happier men
and
women, and therefore get more out of life and give more to others,
because they dance. If the purpose of life is, in the words of an
immortal document, the pursuit of happiness, surely those who
train
their bodies to move in harmony with natural laws are fitting
themselves for capacity to enjoy all that life brings. To live
well requires good physical health, for which a prime requisite is
an
abundance of pleasant exercise. Not alone to those who are free
from the necessity of the various forms of exertion that are
termed "work," but to every human being, exercise is as
necessary as food. To those whose daily callings involve
substantial physical labor, the need for exercise is just as great
as for those of lighter employments. And nowhere can there be
found so satisfactory a bodily exercise as in the dance. Sports,
outdoor games, horseback riding, etc., have their place, but are
available to a comparatively small percentage of all the people.
Now that the introduction of the automobile has turned America
into a nation of riders on soft cushions, the need for proper
exercise has become more important than ever.
