It takes about ten years to make a mature dancer. The training is twofold. There is the study and practice of the craft in order to strengthen the muscular structure of the body. The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted. The movement become clean, precise, eloquent, truthful. Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. This might be called the law of the dancer's life, the law which governs its outer aspects

Nothing is more revealing than movement.

People have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose. I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life.

Dance is communication, and so the great challenge is to speak clearly, beautifully and with inevitability.

I did not choose to be a dancer. I was chosen.

The reason dance has held such an ageless magic for the world is that it has been the symbol of the performance of living.

First we have to believe, and then we believe.
