If the dance is right, there shouldn't be a single superfluous movement.

There comes a day when people begin to say, 'Why doesn't that old duffer retire?' I want to get out while they're still saying Astaire is a hell of a dancer.

I had some ballet training but didn't like it. It was like a game to me.

I don't like top hats, white ties, and tails.

Disco is just jitterbug.

And that love that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart.

Dancing is a sweat job.
