In presenting this volume to the favor of the teaching and dancing profession we do not claim to cover the whole field of toe dancing, nor to say that if one merely practice all the exercises of this book one will become a beautiful toe dancer. Such a limited student would certainly not, for the beautiful toe dancer must be a beau tiful dancer as well, and in good dancing every part of the body is included. There is not room between the front and back covers of one book to tell all that is known about teaching how to dance beautifully. That would require at least one hundred volumes.
