I praise the dance, which demands everything: health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul. Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people, who are in constant danger of becoming all brain, will, or feeling. Dancing demands a whole person, one who is firmly anchored in the center of his life, who is not obsessed by lust for people and things and the demon of isolation in his own ego. Dancing demands a freed person, one who vibrates with the equipoise of all his powers. I praise the dance.

May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever keep you empty handed. I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean, whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens. Promise me you will give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance." ~ Lee Ann Womack "Dancers work and live from the inside. They drive themselves constantly producing a glow that lights not only themselves but audience after audience." ~ M. Louis "A child sings before it speaks, dances almost before it walks. Music is in our hearts from the beginning." ~ Pamela Brown "Dancers are an admirable bunch of people. The way they work. The stress is extraordinary. It's a difficult career.
