"What is dance? It is motion. What is motion? The expression of a sensation. What is a sensation? The reaction in the human body produced by an impression or an idea perceived by the mind. A sensation is the reverberation that the body receives when an impression strikes the mind." - quote by Loie Fuller, a forerunner of American Modern Dance |
"In life as in dance: Grace glides on blistered feet." - Alice Abrams
"I don't want people who want to dance, I want people who have to dance." - George Balanchine
"Classical dancing is like being a mother: if you've never done it, you can't imagine how hard it is." - Harriett Cavalli
"The only way to do it is to do it." - Merce Cunningham
"Dancing: The Highest Intelligence in the Freest Body." - Isadora Duncan
"Freedom to a dancer means discipline. That is what technique is for--liberation." - Martha Graham
"Aren't all ballets sexy? I think they should be. I can think of nothing more kinky than a prince chasing a swan around all night." - Sir Robert Murray Helpman
"Dance is bigger than the physical body. Think bigger than that. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that: your dancing spirit." - Judith Jamison
"Football isn't a contact sport; it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport." - Vince Lombardi
"1. Beginning dancer: knows nothing. 2. Intermediate dancer: knows everything. Too good to dance with beginners. 3. Hotshot dancer: too good to dance with anyone. 4. Advanced dancer: dances everything, especially with beginners." - quote attributed to Dick Grum, folk dance teacher
"Dance is an art that literally epitomizes the old bromide about "honest sweat."...For muscles never stay stretched you know. One good painful stretching on Monday will not do for Tuesday. Tuesday will demand its share of the discomforts, as well as Wednesday and Thursday and the rest of the week...Sweat, you know, is for most sensible human beings not quite nice. Not quite delicate, nor mannerly, and to be avoided wherever possible. But a dancer lives-I use this verb in all its implications and with all emphasis-lives in it, with it, around it, soaked with it, permeated by it, marinated in it." - Jose Limon
