Dancers Quotes

Many dancers are content with the repertoire they’re given. Others are dissatisfied but don’t know why. Then there are a few like me that are curious and grab at everything. Can that curiosity thrive in the ballet world, or should it exist elsewhere? That’s the eternal question Picture Quote #1

One of the eternal mysteries of ballet is how untalented choreographers find backers for their work, and then find good dancers to perform in it. Is it irresistible charm? Chutzpah? Pure determination? Blackmail? Or are so many supposedly knowledgeable people just plain blind? Picture Quote #1

Dancers carry themselves in completely different ways to how we do in our everyday lives. They are very free with their bodies which I’m not used too Picture Quote #1

All of my friends are really good dancers, which was initially why I never danced - we’d go out, and they would kill it, and I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just gonna sit at the bar.’ Picture Quote #1

Same with anyone who’s been flying for years and loves it still... we’re part of a world we deeply love. Just as musicians feel about scores and melodies, dancers about the steps and flow of music, so we’re one with the principle of flight, the magic of being aloft in the wind! Picture Quote #1

What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It’s no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he’s too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It’s too hard to face Picture Quote #1

I still can’t believe I danced with Gene Kelly. How lucky am I that I’ve been in movies where I’ve danced with two of the greatest dancers of all time - with Gene Kelly and John Travolta Picture Quote #1

Making the ballet really taught me how to get things moving. Ballet dancers don’t stand still Picture Quote #1

As a dancer, you really try to stay true to whatever the choreographer/artistic director is giving you. So, now the shoe is on the other foot and I have to trust everyone else - I have to trust the dancer. As I was trusted as a dancer, I trust my dancers Picture Quote #1

I was using tape loops for dancers and dance production. I had very funky primitive equipment, in fact technology wasn’t very good no matter how much money you had Picture Quote #1

Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion Picture Quote #1

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion Picture Quote #1
