has negative point of view towards
dance arts, that produced of
the typical negative appearance
of the dancer that is related
to sensual and physical temptation
which is far from the spiritual
side.
The English philosopher Haflouk
abbreviates speech about dance,
being an art by saying: "if
we are careless about our view
to dance art, no doubt that
we are failed, not only in understanding
the sublime side of the materialistic
life; but in understanding the
sublime simple of the spiritual
life as well".
Most of the international dance
art schools hold the following
motto: "TO LIVE IS TO DANCE,
TO DANCE IS TO LIVE, LEARN IT
ONCE and ENJOY ALL YOUR LIFE".
