THE DANCE
The seemingly unending of combinations of gyrations and special placement of appendages of human form seem to occur quite naturally as hints of that withheld absolute perfection Which can be said to be basic to the reality of each of our art forms.
Forms can be learned. Recreated.
Dance becomes poetry in motion; music an elaborated, expanded realm beyond the limits of mere hearing into heady, exotically featured and sounds are tangible and emotionally vocative beyond known limitations.
Historically, too, we are - at best - just beginners, neophytes, potential holders of such wealth unknown.
Have you, to return to harsh undecorated reality for the moment, noticed a revival of public interest which indicates a new interest and concern with art forms - expecially that of dancing. Try this simple test, if you wonder. Open your local newspaper to the Classified Ad pages. Notice how many ads are running announcing new dancing classes are "being formed." The invitation is there for all form, of dancing, too - "Ballroom" to "Belly". Some are being being pushed as weigh loss procedure, and that is also a worthy addition for which you might want to plan.
All of this change has come about in the past six or eight months, and it appears to have much more kick than many would attribute to a TV show. It's reception for a second successful
season, has convinced many that it has been the primary cause of the return of dancing to entertainment and and recreational scenes in America, Courses now being offered in new classes include all the old favorite ballroom steps, a few exotics and, in the "modern" inventive types novelty dancing.

Much of the credit for bringing about this innovative and welcomed return must go to the ABC -TV show "Dancing With The Stars". The calls for professional dancers to teach non-dancing partners a form of dance step and complete dance routine for each week's show. Some of the transformations have been just a little short of magic. The format gives emcee Tom Bergeron the best, real chance he has ever had to make use of his varied talents. Contest- ants chosen ,too, have been fresh and both unknown and semi-known people.
The program depends on the wisdom, stamina and nerve of three competent and fully qualified judges. The program also has the habit-formed jury of "at home" voters. To me, this is a weakness in the format which allows for too much opportunity for certain people who might use the program for personal gain. It seems most unwise for any show based on Judges opinions to allow their votes to be canceled by means of shadowy "Fan Club" pressures. Judges must be seen as judges by producers - and respected as such. If the show has any fault, this "at home" vote this seems to be the niche wherein scandal - a common cause of casualties among contestant shows - might find its sneaky way to ruin.
Meanwhile, watch "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC-TV and wish your could dance as well as most learn to do.
