Agnes de Mille
"It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep
it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open."
- Martha Graham,
quoted by Agnes de Mille,"
"Dance in the body you have."
â Agnes De MilleA
A dancer should learn from all the arts. Go to museums and look at the paintings.
See how they balance things. Everything you do in the arts enriches you.
~ Alicia Alonso
Dance is a life, everyday. don't miss it.
You're in bodies, you can move... Where is your joy?

Some people seem to think that good dancers are born,
but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.
~ Fred Astaire
I'd rather dance as a ballerina,
though faultily, than as a flawless clown.
~ Margaret Atwood, Lady Oracle
When you take dancing lessons,
you learn steps and you learn steps and you learn steps.
It can go on for a long time.
And then one day, you just learn to dance,
and it is so different....Expand for more
~ Bill Austin
I don't want people who want to dance,
I want people who have to dance.
~ George Balanchine
In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts.
God made men to sing the praises of women.
They are not equal to men: They are better.
~ George Balanchine
It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg.
The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
~ Mikhail Baryshnikov I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally;
I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.
Audrey Hepburn
Inner-Strength grows with lessons, failures are just lessons, we fall, we learn, we get up, start again, pass that point and then move onward to another achievement, another victory, another chance and an improved life and always, a little bit wiser - James M Sandbrook
Well, they aren't 'famous' but I know someone who started when she was 19 and she dances for a company in Chicago now :D It depends on how much natural talent you have and how hard you work ^_^ I am really hard on myself in rehearsals. I donât take compliments very well.".
