Dance Quotes



Dance is the hidden language of the soul.




Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance.
Great dancers are not great because of
their technique,
they are great because of their passion.




There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy,
a quickening that is translated through you into
action and because there is only one of you in
all of time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through
any other medium and be lost.




Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery.




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.




We learn by practice.
Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing
dancing or to learn to live by practicing living,
the principles are the same.
One becomes in some area an athlete of God.





Freedom to a dancer means discipline.
That is what technique is for--liberation




The body says what words cannot.




Martha Graham
best known american dancer and teacher of modern dance
