How inimitably graceful children are in general before they learn to dance!

How inimitably graceful children are in general before they

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent elegance and natural grace that children possess before they receive formal training in the art of dance. It suggests that children possess an innate ability to move with a certain gracefulness and fluidity that is both captivating and distinctive. Their unassuming movement style, free from self-consciousness, evokes a sense of admiration and awe. It also implies that the beauty of children's movements might be lost or transformed as they grow older and become more self-aware or perceptions of proper movement are imposed upon them.
