Dance Is A Song Of The Body.

A Dancer Must Listen To His Body And Pay Homage To It. Behind The Movement Lies This Terrible, Driving Passion, This Necessity. I Won't Settle For Anything Less.

I Am Certain That Movement Never Lies. There Is Only One Law Of Posture I Have Been Able To Discover - The Perpendicular Line Connecting Heaven And Earth.

The Body Is Shaped, Disciplined, Honored, And In Time, Trusted.

I Did Not Want To Be A Tree, A Flower Or A Wave. In A Dancer's Body, We As Audience Must See Ourselves, Not The Imitated Behavior Of Everyday Actions, Not The Phenomenon Of Nature, Not Exotic Creatures From Another Planet, But Something Of The Miracle That Is A Human Being.

I Use The Words Gods And Goddesses Principally, I Think, To Mean Beautiful Bodies - Bodies That Are Absolute Instruments. And I Believe In Discipline, I Believe In A Very Definite Technique.
