Living is a form of not being sure, not know what next or how... The artists never entirely knows.

But remember that intent is everything. One does not just jump, one lifts into the air, one rises. In the same way the lifted leg of an arabesque becomes a wing, and not a mechanical leverage like a raised trap door. This is the precise difference between dancing and acrobatics. The dancer tries to express something; the acrobat merely pulls, raises, stretches and grinds. The acrobat is lost in a web of muscles the dancer is all but invisible in projected idea.

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

I studied the way I danced- to the point of dropping.

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.

Who am I?, the artist asks. And he devotes his whole life to finding out.

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