Thoughts on Dance

America has been called a melting pot, but it seems better to call it a mosaic, for in it each nation, people or race which has come to its shores has been privileged to keep its individuality, contributing at the same time its share to the unified pattern of a new nation. -King Baudouin of Belgium (1930-1993)

I read this quote in my ‘Word of the Day’ email, and immediately thought how well it would fit in with my future master’s thesis on dance in the humanities– dance as a means of transmitting culture. Hopefully I remember this when I actually start working on it… in a few months/years!
