All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

"...teachers and schools must make it very clear to their students that while technical prowess is not inherently detrimental to dancers, it is only a shell, a house in which lives the artist that the student must become. Without emphasis on artistry, acting, and building character -- throughout their training -- students and dancers are left with only a bag of tricks that mean and convey nothing other than athleticism."
