No pose, no movement, no gesture is beautiful in itself. Every movement is beautiful only when it is expressed truthfully and sincerely. The phrase ‘the beauty of line’ is – by itself – absurd. A line is beautiful only when it is directed toward a beautiful end.

I have discoverd the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years.

I see America dancing, beautiful, strong, with one foot poised on the highest point of the Rockies, her two hands stretched out from the Atlantic to the Pacific, her fine head tossed to the sky, her forehead shining with a crown of a million stars.
