DANCING

was originally a mode of expre ing rereligious feeling, e.g. Davids dancing before the Ark, and was often used in military displays, though the Romans—like Orientals—had their dancing usually done for them by hired slaves. D. is still used in three European Churches, those of Seville, Echternach (in Luxembourg), and Musgrave (in West more land). At Seville the choir boys dance during the elevation of the Host on the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and Corpus Christ i at Echternach on the feast of St. Will i brod and; at Musgrave " rush bearing” on the May Day.; The Roman custom is, of course, perpetuated by the profe ionals of the modem ballet, who draw very large salaries.
