THE
Art of
Stage
Dancing
by Ned Wayburn
----------------
Someway I
don't care for the word "Preface." As I think the matter
over, I'm not sure that I ever read a preface to any
book; and this fact suggests to me that possibly others
would pass by this page in my book if I dubbed it by
that much-worn and very trite word. So I've hailed you
all with a much more cheery and stimulating title for my
opening page; and perhaps, in consequence, some may read
it.
My
Greetings are specially extended to certain chosen
groups of people: First, to all students of the past,
the present, and those hoped for in the future; second,
to the hundreds of teachers of the art of dancing who
esteem my original methods of instruction sufficiently
to care about what I may print on the subject; and
third, to a public that has sat "in front" at any or
many of my productions, and enjoyed them, and is, in
consequence, interested to know something about the hard
work, the thought and the skill, necessary to bring
about such pleasing results. |
