The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.

The spine is the tree of life. Respect it.

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

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.

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

I get up, I fall down, all the while I am dancing.

Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.
