"For a class activity, the children wrote a paragraph describing the Doze and drew a picture to illustrate their concept of it. After some preparatory movement activities during their physical education class they were asked to extend their Doze idea into movement. How would you interpret a clumsy, wide and wet, a dripping and a dribbling, slop-slopping, pokey, damp, despised, and aimless Doze? It was apparent after several readings that the girls' interpretations reflected ballerina movements, while the boys demonstrated heavy, grotesque movements. It was the consensus that this is a boy's dance." Bibliography, no index.
