Live, Love, Laugh, Dance

The only reason for mastering technique is to make sure the body does not prevent the soul from expressing itself.

Ballet is dance executed by the human soul

Let us read and let us dance- two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.

Dancing is silent poetry.

The ballet toe shoe is one of the few instruments of torture to survive intact into out time.

Dancing is an art because it is subject to no rules.

Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split second timing

Take care, don't fight, and remember: if you do not choose to lead, you will forever be led by others.Find what scares you, and do it.You can make a difference, if you choose to do so.

Too young or too old is no excuse. Wrong color is no excuse.In debt is no excuse. There's simply no bona fide, genuine excuse for not being super successful. You control what you become.

Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. A woman must do what he can't.

Every time I close the door on reality, a little comes in through the windows.

When you are on stage, you are having an affair with 3,000 people.

When you do dance, I wish you A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that.

Technical perfection is insufficient. It is an orphan without the true soul of a dancer.

Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts.For it is no mere translation or abstraction of life. It is life itself.

Either you do the pirouette or you shoot yourself. One or the other, but something must happen.
