Desenhos de Serge Ivanoff, in «Dancing through the ages: from the 18th to the 20th century», in The Illustrated London News Christmas Number, 1941, pp. 33-36.
-
«Dancing was probably one of the first means of lyric expression to be invented by Mankind. (...) Moralists who consider it as a frivolous and puerile pastime doubtless do not recognise the philosophic importance of this instinctive language which reflects so faithfully the spirit of an epoch and that of the race.»
