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

I believe that we learn by practice.

My childhood years were a balance of dark and light.

Discipline is liberation.

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

Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.
