(DANCING : ¦ : i3*Aj. ^ •"."rfy.y MS* pp*-^ I Dancers in Action. CHE spring quarter was the big season of the dance. The introduction of new methods has been popularly received by all dance enthusiasts and the classes have grown correspondingly. Mrs. Johnson brought the new types to our campus and is promoting them here to some extent. Denishawn and ballet technique are left out in favor of the natural and interpretive forms of dancing. Expression and meaning are symbolized in every movement of the body, and grace and suppleness of form with a general physical development are also major principles. Many dancing programs have been given by dancing groups during the winter and spring quarters. A large spring revue was held near the close of the spring quarter which climaxed the dancing season for the year. Every type of dances were presented at this large fete. One of the special types taught by Mrs. Johnson was the Clog dance, which was not with much approval by those interested in such work. This class was asked to give many demonstrations of their skill. ¦¦« wmSmB8Bi.....dMHKIBH A Winter Sport.
