In ballet a complicated story is impossible to tell. We can't dance synonyms.

One is born to be a great dancer.

Put a man and a girl on stage and there is already a story; a man and two girls, there's already a plot.

One is born to be a dancer. No teacher can work miracles, nor will years of training make a good dancer of an untalented pupil. One may be able to acquire a certain technical facility, but no one can ever 'acquire an exceptional talent.' I have never prided myself on having an unusually gifted pupil. A Pavlova is no one's pupil but God's.

Storyless is not abstract. Two dancers on the stage are enough material for a story; for me, they are already a story in themselves

The woman's function is to fascinate men.

Dance is music made visible
