Maurices Art Of Dancing PDF Download

Excerpt from Maurice's Art of Dancing: An Autobiographical Sketch With Complete Descriptions of Modern Dances and Full Illustrations Showing the Various Steps and PositionsThose years at the Sisters' school are rather vague. I certainly did not study very much, but I liked the early Mass in the tiny chapel. The candles on the altar, the faint light streaking the windows, and the scent of incense, fresh and stale, which always clung even to the wooden pews, made me happy. Though I don't think I was religious it was probably an awakening of that strong sense of beauty for which I have always been grateful.When I was nine, Father took Oscar and me to England, placing us in Chatham College, Rochester. Oscar was delighted, for he honestly loved books and studied hard. I was really very proud of him on Prize Days, and I believe that in all the five years we spent there together he never failed to win a prize whenever any were Offered. As for me, I never even tried for one. I hated to study. I used to sit at my desk, with my book propped up before me, and invent new ways of swinging my feet. When I had swung them as far forward and backward as possible, I would use a side-motion, which was very irritating to the boy next me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
