But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe.

every artist is both male and female, and ... sometimes, the two great elements are in conjunction with him, so that all by himself he suddenly gets the melody and the burst of feeling of a great symphony without any external stimuli.

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

You and I are but specks of that rhythmic urge which is Brahma, which is Allah, which is God.

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

I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.

Remembering that man is indeed the microcosm, the universe in miniature, the Divine Dance of the future should be able to convey with its slightest gestures some significance of the universe.
