Excerpt from Rhythms and Dances for Elementary Schools: Grades One to Eight
That dancing has health values is an established fact. One need only take part in the Skipping, running, galloping, and animal rhythms, with the little children or go through the figures of an Old fashioned country dance with the eighth graders to be conscious of an increased heart-rate with its resultant stimulation of respiration and circulation. Dancing carries with it all of the beneficial physiological results Of rational exercise. Probably the most important of these, coming through the happy recreative influence of the dance, is an increased nervous control and poise of rare value in the rush Of present day life.
