First comes the sweat. Then comes the beauty if you're very lucky and have said your prayers.

Dancers are instruments, like a piano the choreographer plays.

I don't have a past. I have a continuous present. The past is part of the present, just as the future is. We exist in time.

The choreographer and the dancer must remember
that they reach the audience through the eye.
It's the illusion created which convinces the audience,
much as it is with the work of a magician.

Choreography is simpler than you think. Just go and do, and don't think so much about it. Just make something interesting.

Ballet will speak for itself. About itself.

Why are you stingy with yourselves? Why are you holding back? What are you saving for - for another time? There are no other times. There is only now. Right now.
