It is this mission of the dancer to contribute to the betterment of all mankind.

I see the dance being used as a means of express what is too deep, too fine for words.

The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space.

I want to dance always, to be good and not evil, and when it is all over not to have the feeling that I might have done better.

We have the capacity to receive messages from the stars and the songs of the night winds.

Dancing 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

Our bodies are at once the receiving and transmitting stations for life itself. It is the highest wisdom to recognize this fact and train our bodies to render them sensitive and responsive to nature, art and religion.
