They do say, the smaller the feet, the better the dancer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.
As long as I have my feet, I can dance; you know what I'm saying?
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
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.
Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
One is born to be a great dancer.
Most dancers have no awareness of how they look; half of them think they're fat. There is anorexia in the ballet world; there are those things.
Each dancer has a different dialect that they speak.
The real American type can never be a ballet dancer. The legs are too long, the body too supple and the spirit too free for this school of affected grace and toe walking.
A dancer's career is short - you just keep going until your legs pack up.
