Gene Kelly Quotes

At 14 I discovered girls. At that time dancing was the only way you could put your arm around the girl. Dancing was courtship Picture Quote #1

They were in the same profession, and you didn’t think that much about it Picture Quote #1

The future of dance will always be tied up with the public’s acceptance of the star. If they accept the star, then they’ll accept the dance Picture Quote #1
