I Did Not Choose To

The Body Is A Sacred Garment. It's Your First And Last Garment; It Is What You Enter Life In And What You Depart Life With, And It Should Be Treated With Honor.

'age' Is The Acceptance Of A Term Of Years. But Maturity Is The Glory Of Years.

The Body Is Your Instrument In Dance, But Your Art Is Outside That Creature, The Body. I Don't Leap And Jump Anymore. I Look At Young Dancers, And I Am Envious, More Aware Of What Glories The Body Contains. But Sensitivity Is Not Made Dull By Age.

Art Is Eternal For It Reveals The Inner Landscape Which Is The Soul Of Man.

People Have Asked Me Why I Chose To Be A Dancer. I Did Not Choose. I Was Chosen To Be A Dancer, And With That, You Live All Your Life.
