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

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.

I believe that we learn by practice.

The secret to dancing is that it is about everything except dancing.
