About this book
Dancing, as a means of physical education; with remarks on deformities, and their prevention and cure.
Author: Mrs. Alfred Webster ...
Year: 1851
In her strong defense of dance and its application to female physical education, Mrs. Webster declares that dancing, as a exercise, "is the very best safeguard against the evils of over mental education." While she approves of calisthenics and various mechanical apparatus-including swings and pulleys and a "prone couch"-she delivers a stinging rebuke regarding the wearing of corsets.
