A Quote by Robert Gottlieb

Oriental dance is primarily an expressive dance; in that resides the beauty.

If we seek the real source of the dance, if we go to nature, we find that the dance of the future is the dance of the past, the dance of eternity, and has been and always will be the same... The movement of waves, of winds, of the earth is ever the same lasting harmony.
