'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.

Pity is a corroding thing.

First we have to believe, and then we believe.

Dancing is a very living art. It is essentially of the moment, although a very old art. A dancer's art is lived while he is dancing. Nothing is left of his art except the pictures and the memories--when his dancing days are over.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

What makes a great dancer is not technique. What makes a great dancer is passion.
