What Makes A Great Dancer

I Use The Words Gods And Goddesses Principally, I Think, To Mean Beautiful Bodies - Bodies That Are Absolute Instruments. And I Believe In Discipline, I Believe In A Very Definite Technique.

...although, As The Latin Verb To Educate, Educate, Indicates, It Is Not A Question Of Putting Something In But Drawing It Out, If It Is There To Begin With...i Want All Of My Students And All Of My Dancers To Be Aware Of The Poignancy Of Life At That Moment. I Would Like To Feel That I Had, In Some Way, Given Them The Gift Of Themselves.

Think Of The Magic Of That Foot, Comparatively Small, Upon Which Your Whole Weight Rests. It's A Miracle, And The Dance Is A Celebration Of That Miracle.

You Do Not Even Have To Believe In Yourself Or Your Work. You Have To Keep Open And Aware Directly To The Urges That Motivate You. Keep The Channel Open.

Dancing Is Just Discovery, Discovery, Discovery - What It All Means, The Way The Little Bone Near The Ankle Relates Itself To The Floor For A Perfect Stance, A Perfect Plie.
