I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.
One of our problems is our sense of discipline - dancers have an extraordinary sense of self-discipline.
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.
There's no dancer alive better than those of the 1950s and 1960s. It's only the energy that changes. Every now and then, someone like me comes along, and people say, 'Oh, this guy is this new thing.' But that's not so. There is no me without them. The tradition just goes on.
I realize that dancers have worked long and hard for standards. However, on occasion, I think that it's good to examine one's heart and ask why are we dancing.
I became an ardent, but never a specially good, dancer.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
One is born to be a great dancer.
