“Dance is the hidden language of the soul”

“I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.”

“Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.”

“ Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery”

“We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.”

“At the time I started in ballet they were dancing 'The Spirit of Champagne' on pointe, in Paris. I thought, 'I don't want to dance the spirit of champagne, I want to drink it!”

“Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.”
