There are many forms of expression in art and<br />

of these dance is one of the most personal. Through<br />

dance, emotion may be expressed by graceful and<br />

coordinated movement. At <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> dance<br />

is an important part of the physical education program.<br />

Students are taught the fundamentals of technique<br />

and are given a chance to practice self expression<br />

through dance choreograpliy. Sustained<br />

and percussive types as well as other movement<br />

qualities enable the girls to express both emotion<br />

and thought. The dance department encourages<br />

students to experiment with these qualities in movement.<br />

This fall a selected group of girls gave an enjoyable<br />

performance for the alumnae. The advanced<br />

section has been combined with the college group<br />

under the joint instruction of Mrs. Legters and<br />

Mrs. Mosier. They presented a delightful performance<br />

in the spring which was made successful<br />
