When the pupil has mastered these very skilfully arranged series of dancing poses, steps, and exercises _she has learned how to dance_; that is, she is in a position, after watching any new dance for a short time, to go on the floor with a leader. Women in the prime of life will be interested to know that in twenty lessons of one-half hour each, given at the Women’s University Club under the able instruction of Miss Rabinovitz,[8] to a class of women ranging in age from thirty to fifty years, two-thirds of whom had either never learned to dance or who had not danced since childhood, not only learned the above various dancing steps and exercisers, but also the following dances. The Folk Dances were: The Tantouli (Swedish); Ace of Diamonds (Danish); Reap the Flax (Swedish); and the Sailor’s Hornpipe (English). This last dance was especially for the very excellent exercise which it afforded. The Minuet was taught for form, grace of movement, and exercise. There were also taught the Hesitation Waltz, the Maxixe, and the Lulu Fado. =Outdoor Exercise.=—Outdoor exercise must be regarded as one of the essentials to good health, and as such must be classed with food, clothing, bathing, and sleep. In addition to the beneficial effects of exercise on the muscles, circulation, and all the functions of the body, are the soothing effects of outdoor life on the nerves. It is only out-of-doors, in the parks, in the country, or by the sea that one is soothed into entire oblivion and forgetfulness of the cares of life, and to such a degree that the individual may be said to be hypnotized by the powers of nature, so that the mind is almost as perfectly at rest as in a sound sleep. The time spent out-of-doors should not be less than two hours daily. Actual experience of busy workers will prove that not only is this time not lost, but that actually more and better work can be done in the day, and that the resulting improvement in the general health will be so great that much less time will be lost through indisposition and actual sickness, so that the daily outdoor exercise will be found to be a great economic gain.
