I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself. Only the wise can dance the rhythm of life. Dance is the hidden language of the soul, of the body- Martha Graham I just try to be the best I can be and hope that is the best ever. Do it big, do it right, and do it with style. ~ Fred Astaire The heart of the dance is the heart of the dancer. ~ Ghazallah al-Badriyyah Dance is music made visible. ~ George Balanchine What is dance? I am dancing all the time. Every gesture, the body line of every pose, the way I get from place to place, the movement in the acting – none of it would be the way it is if I weren't a dancer. ~ Ray Bolger Movement without meaning is just exercise. ~ Marie Brooks Dancing: the highest intelligence in the freest body. ~ Isadora Duncan A dancer, if she is great, can give to the people something that they can carry with them forever. They can never forget it, and it has changed them, though they may never know it. ~ Isadora Duncan Lose yourself in the music, the moment − you own it. ~ Eminem Dance is so important in the world. It needs no language. Our bodies speak a language of its own. ~ Robert (Bobby) Ibrahim Farrah Plié is the first thing you learn and the last thing you master. ~ Suzanne Farrell Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. ~ Martha Graham It's what I always wanted to do: to show the laughter, the fun – the joy of dance~ Martha Graham The spine is the tree of life. Respect it. ~ Martha Graham I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing. ~ Hillel Dance for yourself. If someone else understands, good. If not, then no matter –go right on doing what you love. ~ Louis Horst The trained dancer must not only have grace and elegance, but also the leap of an Olympic hurdler, the balance of a tight-rope walker and panther-like strength and agility. ~ Camilla Jessel Dancing should look easy; like an optical illusion.It should seem effortless. When you do a difficult variation,the audience is aware that it is demanding and that you have the power and strength to do it. But in the end, when you take your bow, you should look as if you were saying, ‘Oh, it was nothing. I could do it again.’ ~ Bruce Marks If you dance with your heart your body will follow.~ Mia Michaels Learning ballet is wonderful for children even if they never become professional dancers. It is wonderful because it teaches discipline, grace, and manners. ~ Anna Paskevska Master technique and then forget about it and be natural. ~ Anna Pavlova Dance like there's nobody watching,Love like you'll never be hurt. Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth. ~ William W. Purkey Everyday there must be something I can't do, otherwise it's boring~ Monet Robier A teacher must possess many qualities – firmness and softness, patience and perseverance and sturdiness... But above all is love for children, desire to train them up, all of them, both week and strong. And, creativity in one's approach to one's task is also above all... ~ Lyudmila Sakharova To dance is to share – to share is to teach. ~ Selayma I like to think dance is an international language that all people can appreciate. All societies have some form of dance as a form of communication.~ Paul Taylor Don't dream it – dance it! ~ W.M Tory Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room. ~ Kurt Vonnegut I do not dance because I am happy, I am happy because I dance. If you're not dancing, you're wasting your feet. ~ Miss Melissa You don't stop dancing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop dancing.
