the magic of that foot
upon which
your whole weight rests.
It’s a
miracle and the dance
is a
celebration of that miracle.”

the one form of theater
where
nobody speaks a foolish word all evening.
Nobody on
the stage at least.”

It never becomes easy... it becomes
possible.”

“Dancers
keep looking for the perfect teacher
without
realizing that it's all there within themselves.
You teach
yourself; your teacher is a guide.

not hear the advice,
corrections
and words of your guide,
it makes no
difference how great the teacher.
You will
never dance.”

“No one can
arrive from being talented alone. God gives
