"The expression of any art depends
on two things," says Miss Ione John-}
son, instructor in natural da-nng,1
"sincere feeling and good form, and
this as true in the field of the dance
as it is in any other field. Too often
one or the other of these qualities is
ignored. For instance, in interpretive
(lancing, many believe that it is
enough just to interpret feeling with-
out good form,, but this is not true.
Then at the other extreme, there are
certain other schools of the dance
which have been narrowed down to
form alone, until all the sincere feel-
ing the artist may feel is definitely
limited by the form."
"The type of work we are trying to
do in natural dancing," she continu-
es, "is to take the natural urge for
self expression in each individual and
guide it by giving the person a means
of using it. This means is the body.
The urge for self expression was
very evident in primitive man and he
tried to give it some form. The dance
was really his only n'eans of doing
this, because he had no other instru-
ment to use in the beginning but his
body. Later he specialized aid cre-
ated new means of expression." j
"But we have grown in the many
generations that have passed, and
people have acquired such a wealth
of expression that there are now
1many different types of (ancing
which reu~resent, the method used by
different peoples. We have the bal-
let, the survival of an old form of
the sophisticated dance of the court
life of Europe. We have both folk
dancing and ballroom dancing re-
presenting group interpretation of
music, but the results are different
because a different, social group are
doing it."
S"Finally we have this new move-
m ent called, Inatural dancing." she
i continued, "which tries to teach peo-
ple control of the body and how to
express the self through it. The body
is the instrument we work with just
as the piano is the instrument of the
musician. We study technique or

against which he can lay all views
