All the children in the school should learn the steps of everything, before they learn the thing, then they know which step they're doing better, because your voice is in certain steps and has to do most of the things that have been composed in those steps.
From Ninette de Valois
Nearly everything in life goes in threes and fours.
Exactly the same with dancing, you can't dance until you've learnt steps, the things your feet can do.
There's nothing in the world that isn't good, bad, and indifferent.
God gave us all exactly the same fingers, arms, legs, and feet, but in our different countries we divided them all a little differently as we feel it, do you understand?
Oh yes, after the war, and we were all starving - we had no proper food or anything - no proper shoes.
You can't stop what comes into a country, you can be influenced, but you can't stop it, you shouldn't, because it makes all the others interesting, we all get muddled up together, and produce something that belongs to everyone.
So it takes years to make a solid company.
As time goes on, all schools only get left alive if they have found something special themselves.
Also, if you have an accident, you can't start to dance again at the top, you're too weak; you start with the easy things - the way you did them when you were young, and come up up up, the way you did then.
