A YEIN PEVE IN BURMA. (Photographed in December 1889 when Prince Albert Victor visited Burma) Original description reads: "Dancing has been elevated into a ceremonial observance in almost every country in the world and in almost every age. In England the Morris Dances and dancing round the May-pole were popular and pleasing institutions, which have now given way, much to the disadvantage of the nation, to the imported and ungraceful posturing of the Italian "ballet." In the East, organised dancing forms a part of almost every great fete. We here see a corps of Burmese dancers performing before the late Prince Albert Victor, on the occasion of a visit paid by him to the Shwa Dagon Pagoda during the course of his voyage round the world in company with his royal brother Prince George. In Burma and Siam dancing is understood to mean the rhythmical swaying of the body, rather than agile movement, and, in view of the tightly-drawn skirts of the damsels engaged in the Yein Peve, it is fortunate that this is the case." |
