It is not a question of who dances but of who or what does not dance.

It was then that my religious consciousness emerged to flower years afterward into definite forms of religious dancing in which there is no sense of division between spirit and flesh, religion and art.

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.

How in the end can one possibly hold anyone responsible for our own underdeveloped visions, or undeveloped strength of character?

We can scale the heights of mountains and see the world rayed out before us, but we fail to recognize that which is before us

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

I have performed for thousands when they found me exotic, the vogue, daring, but I have danced, at any given time, for about ten people... They were the ones that left the theater forever different from the way they were when they came in. All of my long, long life, I have danced for those ten.
