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.

What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.

I could never make a ballet by wrinkling my brow and concentrating. If you set out deliberately to make a masterpiece, how will you ever get it finished?

The ballet is a purely female thing; it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers, and man is the gardener.

The woman's function is to fascinate men.

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

Music must be seen, and dance must be heard
