We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams

It takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer

If dancing were any easier it would be called football

You know you’re dancing when tears of pain and happiness blend in with your sweat

You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart

Dance for yourself, if someone understands good. If not then no matter, go right on doing what you love. — Lois Hurst

Ballet is not technique but a way of expression that comes more closely to the inner language of man than any other. — George Borodin

Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music. — William Stafford

Dancing is like dreaming with your feet! — Constanze

Dance is the hidden language of the soul. — Martha Graham

Ballet technique is arbitrary and very difficult. It never becomes easy–it becomes possible. The effort involved in making a dancer’s body is so long and relentless, in many instances painful, the effort to maintain the technique so grueling that unless a certain satisfaction is derived from the disciplining and the punishing, the pace could not be maintained. — Agnes de Mille

If you want to dance seriously, do. You must think about it day and night, dream about it,–desire it. — Christa Justus
