First We Have To Believe,

Wherever A Dancer Stands Is Holy Ground.

Great Dancers Are Not Great Because Of Their Technique, They Are Great Because Of Their Passion.

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.

I Believe That We Learn By Practice.

You Can Be Eastern Or Burmese Or What Have You, But The Function Of The Body And The Awareness Of The Body Results In Dance And You Become A Dancer, Not Just A Human Being.
