The ethnographic and aristocratic era in the art of dancing has reached
the climax of æsthetic development. We are entering the era of cosmic
art. We begin it with the same primitive steps that our ancestors made
so many centuries ago; only with this difference--that now we view the
problem from a universal point of view while our forefathers beheld
it from a nationalistic and aristocratic point of view. We are in the
cosmic current of evolution and begin our circle where it was left by
those who had passed the current of a certain race or class. The future
dance will grasp beauty from a broader stretch and deeper depths than
the greatest virtuosi of the past and present could do. The fundamental
law of all spiritual as well as physical evolution is to bring about a
better equilibrium between the individual and the universal powers.
