“Steps can be special and mysterious, taking on a metaphorical quality as they become a powerful way to define the truth. The concept of “taking one’s first step” is often overrated. Aftertaking a first step, no one ever stops cold. It is the succession of steps moving forward with a purpose that has true meaning in our lives.”

“It's like an emotional dance party: Some dances will be your favorites -- others more awkward or difficult to learn. Some will be boring or make you mad. some you will wish you never needed to do again. But AHA! You think. I will dance all the dances I can.”

“You dance love, and you dance joy, and you dance dreams. And I know if I can make you smile by jumping over a couple of couches or running through a rainstorm, then I'll be very glad to be a song and dance man.”

“The Heavenly Spheres make music for us,The Holy Twelve dance with us,All things join in the dance!Ye who dance not, know not what we are knowing.”

“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.”

“Nothing is as important as dancing. . . . Better a fourth-rate dancer than a first-rate anything else.”
