The Body Is A Sacred Garment.

Freedom To A Dancer Means Discipline. That Is What Technique Is For -- Liberation.

You Have No Right To Go Before A Public Without An Adequate Technique, Just Because You Feel. Anything Feels - A Leaf Feels, A Storm Feels - What Right Have You To Do That? You Have To Have Speech, And It's A Cultivated Speech.

Dance Is The Hidden Langauge Of The Soul, Of The Body.

There Is A Vitality, A Life Force, A Quickening That Is Translated Through You Into Action, And Because There Is Only One Of You In All Time, This Expression Is Unique, And If You Block It, It Will Never Exist Through Any Other Medium, And Be Lost. The World Will Not Have It. It Is Not Your Business To Determine How Good It Is, Not How It Compares With Other Expression. It Is Your Business To Keep It Yours Clearly And Directly, To Keep The Channel Open.

Dancers Have More Bones Than Most People And On The Days When You Work Hard You Are Sure That You Have Somehow Accumulated More Bones Than You Started With.
