Here's my dance quotes! Have some? Email me!
"Dance like no one else is watching."
-Center Stage *eek*
"Dance was more than a thing I did. It was my defintion and my strength. It could reach out and bring me back to
myself. It made me real and whole and strong. No one could take it or keep me away from it. And no one, except maybe another
dancer, could understand how that felt." -A Time For Dancing (book)
from awardance.com:
"I've always found music to be my form of release, my expression, my love." -Christina Aquilera
THANK YOU GOD FOR THE JOYS YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THROUGH THE REVELATION OF DANCE. FOR WHEN I DANCE MY HEART REJOICES, I LAUGH,
I LOVE, I SING YOUR PRAISE
-an excerpt from the dancer's prayer, submitted by Holli M., age 9
"When you do dance, I wish you a wave o' the sea, that you might ever do Nothing but that." William Shakespeare,

"Everybody listenin I wanna see you dance

"If you can't dance, if you can't dance
if you can't dance, if you can't dance
if you can't dance, well then you can't do
nothing for me baby!"
-The Spice Girls
On Ruth St. Denis, modern dancer...
"Martha understood her purpose immediately; most other Americans did not. Dancing was supposed to be merely pretty,
wasn't it? No one even dreamed of it as an equal to the arts of music, painting, literature. No one, that is, except Ruth
ST. Denis from Newark and her equally great contemporary from San Francisco, Isadora Duncan, who also fought to restore to
modern dance its ancient dignity and spritual force, through a rediscovery of the dance ideals of ancient Greece . . . American
newspaper reporters -- there were no dance critics then -- were at a loss to describe Ruth St. Denis. They described her
as a beautiful woman...they began to stumble over themselves in confusion...The reporters didn't know what to make of it.
Martha Graham did." ~"Frontiers of Dance, The Life of Martha Graham," by Walter Terry
