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

Dancers aren't made of their technique, but their passion.

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

Dancing is such a despised and dishonored trade that if you tell a doctor or a laywer you do choreography he'll look at you as if you were a hummingbird. Dancers don't get invited to visit people. It is assumed a boy dancer will run off with the spoons and a girl with the head of the house.

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

Dance constitutes a true recapturing of... freedom and childish play.

The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie.
