Right here where you and I stand, we shall behold a true and radiant world. In that world, we shall dance only our divine essence.
Ruth St. DenisI see the dance being used as a means of express what is too deep, too fine for words.
Ruth St. DenisDancing of late years has been degraded to the narrow limits and low professionalism of mere mechanical proficiency, associated with the most frivolous... phases of the stage. But this day is fading...We are turning our gaze inward, learning to seek there the divine sources of the dance, to the end that it may flower into new and more glorious forms of beauty and wealth
