She is not the heavily athletic young woman that the average vaudeville dancer is. She is lithe and hér body seems to obey every whim that enters her orig- tnal head. “Besides the goog that dancing does. 1t is pure pleasure,” says Miss Vincent. “In fact it's the best fun that I ever have. After my turn I come off the stage feeling ltike & princess—the way you feel after a morning swim or a brisk walk. Dancing puts life into your body. All the muscles are relaxed and strengthened “The Southern dances are the best for this. The body lets itself go more than n skirt and fancy dancing. If you look at it that way you can see that negroes are one of the most graceful races in the world That is, the negroes who are as they were made.
