Ballet Quotes

It is the best of all games for me. It frequently escapes from the pattern of sport and assumes the form of a virile ballet. It is purer than any dance because the actions of the players are not governed by music or crowded into a formula by a director. The movement is natural and unrehearsed and controlled only by the unexpected flight of the ball Picture Quote #1

At the beginning, ballet accounted for at least two hours out of six hours of my daily training session. Later I devoted less time to ballet, but every workout of mine included training in choreography Picture Quote #1

I’d really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun I do gymnastics and ballet, and I’m very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport Picture Quote #1

I’m so fair that I didn’t go in the sun as a child. When all my friends were on the beach, I was going to ballet. The teachers there didn’t like you going in the sun, so I never did Picture Quote #1

We must first realize that dancing is an absolutely independent art, not merely a secondary accompanying one. I believe that it is one of the great arts... The important thing in ballet is the movement itself. A ballet may contain a story, but the visual spectacle... is the essential element. The choreographer and the dancer must remember that they reach the audience through the eye. It’s the illusion created which convinces the audience, much as it is with the work of a magician Picture Quote #1

The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any one place is always replete with new improvisations Picture Quote #1

I used to get so comfortable running the hurdles, I was just like a ballet dancer going out there and going through the routines Picture Quote #1

Learning ballet is wonderful for children even if they never become dancers. It is wonderful because it teaches discipline, grace, and manners Picture Quote #1

I think most dancers would agree that the art of ballet chooses the dancer, not the other way around Picture Quote #1

Ballet is not just movement, not simply abstract. It’s something beautiful. Sometimes there’s this feeling in the movement that makes me want to cry Picture Quote #1

The vocabulary and manner of classical ballet express a high order of discipline and restraint, a sense of harmony with forces larger and more lasting than the individual Picture Quote #1

Ballet is not just my profession, it is my life... It is horrible for me to think that one day it will all finish Picture Quote #1

Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. It’s exactly like doing ballet. It’s hours and hours but when you go onstage it’s just the pleasure of dancing Picture Quote #1

I want to be a lawyer, a dancer, an actress, a mother, a wife, a childrens author, a distance runner, a poet, a pianist, a pet store owner, an astronaut, an environmental and humanitarian activist, a psychiatrist, a ballet teacher, and the first woman president Picture Quote #1

In the world of classical ballet there are only a handful of story ballets, so getting a new one is cause for excitement Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life Picture Quote #1

I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldn’t get the smile off my face Picture Quote #1

Ballet is always about the realm of possibilities, the realm of what the human body can do, what the human spirit can do. And it’s about listening, it’s about listening to remarkable music and how we respond to that Picture Quote #1

I have been curious about the mind and body for as long as I can remember. I was a gymnast, a ballet dancer, and a philosophy and physical therapy major. Following the thread of curiosity about mind and body, I took my first yoga class in 1980 and knew from the start that it would be a lifelong passion Picture Quote #1

Just as experience dictates to the ballet teacher the length of time necessary to train his students, so the horse, too, needs time to mature into a great four legged dancer. This fact cannot be obliterated by seeming successes that supposedly prove the opposite. For, even if someone should succeed in training a horse to high school level by the age of eight, this individual occurrence cannot shake the foundations of the classical art of riding, if this dressage horse is completely unsound and unusable by the age of ten Picture Quote #1

Prayer is like practicing the piano or ballet or writing: you have to bring your body for a very long time, in spite of your body’s frailties and conflicts and general revolt, and then one day your body is not separate any more. You’ve in a sense become the piano or the dance or the word or the prayer. The prayer is in your heart. The prayer is your heart Picture Quote #1

Ballet is like football. I don’t understand a footballer’s technique but I can see when he’s playing brilliantly. People don’t like ballet because they think they don’t understand it. Actually they do. It’s the most primitive form of appeal Picture Quote #1

I do ballet and pointe work. I also do tap, commercial jazz and technical jazz, freestyle street dancing Picture Quote #1

The focus of our family life was homework and what was for dinner; getting to ballet rehearsal and getting my brother to soccer Picture Quote #1

I love ballet. Ballet is its own being. It has its own vocabulary. I feel as if I am in a different world when I am in the ballet studio Picture Quote #1

The idea that ballet is a white art is absurd and shocking, and it’s gone on for too long. Nothing would make me happier than having a company that reflects society, to have dancers onstage that people can relate to Picture Quote #1

I’ve won my last four matches by knockout. Out of 30 fights, I’ve won more than 20 by knockout. I think that a ballet dancer wouldn’t win by knockout Picture Quote #1

I was a ballet dancer growing up and that’s what I was convinced I would be Picture Quote #1

I really wanted to make it as a ballet dancer to make my mom proud. But it didn’t happen Picture Quote #1

I have always loved fashion because it’s a great way to express your mood. And I’m definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat Picture Quote #1
