Dancing is the poetry of the foot.

Summary

This quote, attributed to John Dryden, suggests that dancing can be seen as a form of artistic expression that transcends the bounds of words.

It implies that the artistry, grace, and creativity involved in dancing can convey deep meaning and emotions without the need for verbal communication, making it a unique and powerful form of self-expression.
