Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.

No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.

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

How many leaps did Nijinksy take before he made the one that startled the world? He took thousands and thousands and it is that legend that gives us the courage, the energy, and arrogance to go back into the studio knowing that while there is so little time to be born to the instant, you will work again among the many that you may once more be born as one. That is a dancer's world.

Dancing appears glamorous, easy, delightful. But the path to paradise of the achievement is not easier than any other. There is fatigue so great that the body cries, even in its sleep. There are times of complete frustration, there are daily small deaths.

The body is a sacred garment.
