Music Must Be Seen, And Dance Must

One Is Born To Be A Dancer. No Teacher Can Work Miracles, Nor Will Years Of Training Make A Good Dancer Of An Untalented Pupil. One May Be Able To Acquire A Certain Technical Facility, But No One Can Ever 'acquire An Exceptional Talent.' I Have Never Prided Myself On Having An Unusually Gifted Pupil. A Pavlova Is No One's Pupil But God's.

Dance Is Music Made Visible

I Could Never Make A Ballet By Wrinkling My Brow And Concentrating. If You Set Out Deliberately To Make A Masterpiece, How Will You Ever Get It Finished?

God Creates, I Do Not Create. I Assemble And I Steal Everywhere To Do It - From What I See, From What The Dancers Can Do, From What Others Do.

I Don't Have A Past. I Have A Continuous Present. The Past Is Part Of The Present, Just As The Future Is. We Exist In Time.
