What I do must be done in the sunlight of awareness.

You have no right to go before a public without an adequate technique, just because you feel. Anything feels - a leaf feels, a storm feels - what right have you to do that? You have to have speech, and it's a cultivated speech.

If I can't dance, I don't care if my dances are ever done again!

Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.

Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.

Stand up! Keep your backs straight! Remember that this is where the wings grow.
