One might say that the American trend of education is to reduce the senses almost to nil.
Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.
To awaken human emotion is the highest level of art.
To express what is the most moral, healthful and beautiful in art this is the mission of the dancer, and to this I dedicate my life.
If I could explain, I wouldn't need to dance!
I do not teach children, I give them joy.
