Dance Quotes

It’s like the time capsule with everything in it. Or like the seed that when you plant it, becomes the enormous tree with leaves and fruit. Everybody was in that little seed, and so everything can open. The tree of dance is like that. It just takes a long, long time to blossom Picture Quote #1

Dance has become an exclusionary enterprise. To participate, one must be thinner than thin, of pleasing form, flexible, athletic and young. If you are not all these things, you will be allowed to dance in the privacy of your own living room. You just wouldn’t dare to put yourself onstage Picture Quote #1

I want to see people dance, and I would like to guess what kind of people they are. I don’t want to know the recipe for their pasta Picture Quote #1

You can be totally involved, you could admire just the shape of or you could be totally emotionally mushed up into the dance Picture Quote #1

A silent figure is the dancer, true but still, words become dance, and all things there express’d Picture Quote #1

You can’t reduce lactic acid, but you can increase your tolerance to it. I do this through running or cycling, but it’s a good idea to match your training bout to the type of dance you do Picture Quote #1

You can’t dance until you’ve learnt steps, the things your feet can do Picture Quote #1

If we seek the real source of the dance, if we go to nature, we find that the dance of the future is the dance of the past, the dance of eternity, and has been and always will be the same... The movement of waves, of winds, of the earth is ever the same lasting harmony Picture Quote #1

Dancers are a great breed of people. And they really want to dance so you don’t have to beg them to work. However, dancers sometimes build walls around themselves because they are presenting themselves all the time: dancing is very much a confession Picture Quote #1

I think it was important that I learned to love to dance eventually for its own sake, as opposed to wanting to be a ballerina Picture Quote #1

I was very happy that I was as normal as possible before I went into serious dance Picture Quote #1

I imagine a future where many of us will call ourselves dancers and collaborate to make an art which concerns itself with primary areas of life... for me, peace is a communal work process, a collective vision. The dance itself tries to exemplify a few of these methods in a truly grounded and practical way so that the people can say: yes, there are prospects of survival Picture Quote #1

Just as the ancients danced to call upon the spirits in nature, we too can dance to find the spirits within ourselves that have been long buried and forgotten Picture Quote #1

Knowledge passes from dance teacher into the student through the process of mane, which is often translated as imitation, but learning to dance is more a process of total identification than of simple copying. We repeat the movements of our teachers until we can duplicate them exactly, until, in a sense, we have absorbed the teacher’s mastery into ourselves. Artistic technique must be fully integrated into the cells of our bodies if we are to use it to express what is in our hearts, and this takes many years of practice Picture Quote #1

It is one thing to do your dance on a beach and quite another to collaborate intimately with the sand Picture Quote #1

A dance performance is rather like going out into a battlefield. You have to hold the attention of as many as five to 10,000 people a lot of whom do not follow your language Picture Quote #1

Every teacher will tell you that you cannot dance classical technique with perfection, there is no such thing, there is no way. So you have to adapt the technique to your abilities or to your deficiencies. Learn to cheat! Picture Quote #1

Dance, like music, knows no geographical boundaries, no linguistic barriers and no racial divisions. All walls crumble where art is concerned. It is a great unifying and integrating force Picture Quote #1

Education in the art of dance is education of the whole man? his physical, mental and emotional natures are disciplined and nourished simultaneously in dance Picture Quote #1

Everyone has seen people dancing all night. But take a man and make him dance for a quarter of an hour without music and see if he can bear it Picture Quote #1

I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance Picture Quote #1

Dance is one of the most powerful forms of magical ritual... It is an outer expression of the inner spirit Picture Quote #1

To dance, put your hand on your heart and listen to the sound of your soul Picture Quote #1

Dance gave me a focus so I could survive, and energy so I could have confidence in myself Picture Quote #1

Dance is the music of our body, sound is the rhythm of our feeling, silence is the symphony of our soul Picture Quote #1

All dance has expression. If there is no expression, I prefer the circus. The performers do more dangerous, more difficult technical things than we do. But we are dancers. We have to express and we have to project Picture Quote #1

You have to be able to cut off from the ballet and relax, or you have anxiety dreams at night, worrying about what you’re going to dance the next day, going over every little detail Picture Quote #1

For all those who are interested in the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, esthetic, historical or any other aspects of our dance art... It is high time that our universities had faculties for dance, giving the art its due place in the academic world Picture Quote #1

Look, spaghetti arms. This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don’t go into yours, you don’t go into mine. You gotta hold the frame Picture Quote #1

Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move millions of people. Since the very birth of human civilization, people have moved to settle close to it. People move when there is too little of it. People move when there is too much of it. People journey down it. People write, sing and dance about it. People fight over it. And all people, everywhere and every day, need it Picture Quote #1
