It is a fact that all the ballet's fundamental dance steps are derived from the folk dances of Western Europe.

Classical ballet will never die.

It's either not good enough and dies altogether, or it develops.

You can't dance until you've learnt steps, the things your feet can do.

And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance.

You cannot create genius. All you can do is nurture it.

The smile is the dance of the face - the dance is the smile of the limbs.
