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

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

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

God gave us all exactly the same fingers, arms, legs, and feet, but in our different countries we divided them all a little differently as we feel it, do you understand?

We are developing the other parts, and we can't give quite all our attention to the upper part, but soon the lower parts will be developed, and the upper part and the lower part will become partners, that will be wonderful.

As time goes on, all schools only get left alive if they have found something special themselves.

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