The best way to study is to go to the Cecchetti method for about a year and draw onto all the highest points and then put that into the general method.

Also, if you have an accident, you can't start to dance again at the top, you're too weak; you start with the easy things - the way you did them when you were young, and come up up up, the way you did then.

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

You never advance without losing something en passant... you lose it because you're paying so much attention to the new thing.

All the children in the school should learn the steps of everything, before they learn the thing, then they know which step they're doing better, because your voice is in certain steps and has to do most of the things that have been composed in those steps.

Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits.

No no, we ALL teach each other, whether it's dancing, whether it's singing, whether it's talking, we all listen to each other. That's progress.
