  • Thousands of emotions well up inside me through out the day. They are released when I dance. *Abraham Lincoln*
  • allet technique is arbitrary and very difficult. It never becomes easy--it becomes possible. The effort involved in making a dancer's body is so long and relentless, in many instances painful, the effort to maintain the technique so grueling that unless a certain satisfaction is derived from the disciplining and the punishing, the pace could not be maintained. *Agnes de Mille*
  • Dance is the only art in which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made. *Ted Shawn*
  • The physical language of the body is so much more powerful than words. *Bill Irwin*
  • People tend to look at dancers like we are these little jewels, little cardboard cut-outs, and yet we have blood and guts and go through Hell. *Susan Jaffe*
  • Dance in the most perishable of the arts. Ballets are forgotten, ballerinas retire, choreographers die--and what remains of that glorious production which so excited us a decade ago, a year ago, or even last night? *Jack Anderson*
