Wherever A Dancer Stands Is Holy Ground.

Dancing Appears Glamorous, Easy, Delightful. But The Path To Paradise Of The Achievement Is Not Easier Than Any Other. There Is Fatigue So Great That The Body Cries, Even In Its Sleep. There Are Times Of Complete Frustration, There Are Daily Small Deaths.

What Makes A Great Dancer Is Not Technique. What Makes A Great Dancer Is Passion.

What I Do Must Be Done In The Sunlight Of Awareness.

It Takes Ten Years, Usually, To Make A Dancer. It Takes Ten Years Of Handling The Instrument, Handling The Material With Which You Are Dealing, For You To Know It Completely.
