O world, / Behold and live again. / We have found the secret, / We have found the way, / It is to dance! —Ruth St. Denis Ruth St. Denis’s (1879-1968) first experience with dance was at the age of three during a barn dance with her father playing a fiddle. St. Denis wrote that she “began to jounce up and down, and Father, seizing a tambourine from the trap drummer, thrust it into my hands. I started beating out time with some uncertain footwork.”
