Excerpt from Dancing as an Art and Pastime

The purpose and plan of the present volume are set forth in the introductory chapter; but it seems only right that I should express my thanks to those pupils who have been kind enough to aid me in illustrating the various attitudes that may or may not properly be assumed in dancing. If the positions described as good appear in some cases to fall short of the ideal of perfection, it should be remembered by those disposed to be hypercritical, that there is a great difference between assuming a difficult attitude momentarily in dancing, and remaining in one without movement, sufficiently long for even a rapid photograph to be taken. It was found that in this case a really instantaneous process would be impracticable, and many good negatives of groups were spoilt through a slight movement on the part of one of the subjects. Beyond this, the work of reproduction necessarily involves a slight loss of detail.

I should mention that the original photographs, from which the plates herein have been reproduced by the Kensington Art Reproduction Company, were taken by Messrs. Mayall and Co., of Brighton.

The various short pieces of music to be found in the work are, as explained in the third chapter, not put forward as specimens of composition. They are merely arranged so that each note is played in exact coincidence with some step or movement, the nature cf which is indicated by the sound. Subject to these conditions I have endeavoured to make them as melodious as possible.
