Allison HolkerAt the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement.

Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

They call it reconciled when pain has strummed a symphony of suffering back and forth across you, up and down, round and round you until each little fibre is worn tissue-thin with aching.

Marita BonnerYour body is the ground metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence... So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there.

Paul VirilioOne is the path of devotion, what in India is called BHAKTI yoga, the path of love and devotion - a Meera, a Chaitanya, dancing and singing, losing themselves completely in the act.

When Chaitanya is singing and dancing there is no Chaitanya; he has become one with the act.

La MeriI don't understand choreographers who say they don't care about the audience or that they would be happy to present their works non-publicly.

If an audience member tells me they cried or that the dance moved them to think about their own journey or a family member's, then the work is successful.

Until there is only...the dance.
Michael JacksonBasic dance--and I should qualify the word basic--is primarily concerned with motion. So immediately you will say but the basketball player is concerned with motion.

Sylvie GuillemIn the Ramtops village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.
