OM Miss Maud Allan's dancing , an English critic wrote : - " It is some thing entirely outside the the ordinary category of dancing as generally re ceived in this country . There is a fun damental difference to mark it out as distinct from the formal evolutions that characterise the repertoire of the regulation danseuse . Miss Allan real ises in dancing a niode of artistic ex pression in the same way that a painter might choose colour , or a litterateur the melody of works . In her handling it becomes a pliant medium capable of the most delicate nuances of expres sion . One might even say that in such conditions it approaches to something of the perfect type of art - that type where matter and forin tend to iden tify . Walter Pater writes of music as being the art which most closely re sembles this ideal , but it may be ques tioned whet.ber dancing , such as Maud Allan presents , does not take preced ence . It is , in fact , difficult to imagine a form of expression more perfect than that in which the body - the outward physical body -- becomes the direct med ium of the subtlest revelations of the emotions . Compared with such exquis ite mode , speech and song appear at best but partial and incomplete . One of the most remarkable points in re gard to Miss Allan's presentation of dancing is a peculiar coinciding in it with the spirit and feeling of classical Greece . " The season in Christchurch opens next Monday . 5 xerors 1184
