Smooth English

This is very difficult to understand

See the heavenly dance. It does not happen according to a plan, there are no musical instruments. Voice is the only sound. The heavenly dance is not taught with a lesson, it moves randomly. The dancers are better than people. The people are not very skillful. They move aimlessly, as if they do not know their purpose. It seems easy. I do not believe that it can be easy, these people are not beautiful. They will not visit again; the people will never be different.
