A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head.

Toe dancing is a dandy attention getter, second only to screaming.

We can't stand silence, because silence induces thinking. And if we thought, we would have to face ourselves.

To make up a dance, I still need, as I needed then, a pot of tea, walking space, privacy and an idea.

I want one word on my tombstone - dancer.

When I dance I am really meditating rather then performing for an audience. I am completely absorbed by the music and the steps I choose to respond to the music.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.
