“See the music, hear the dance.”

“Why are you stingy with yourselves? Why are you holding back? What are you saving for—for another time? There are no other times. There is only now. Right now.”

“Someone once said that dancers work just as hard as policeman, always alert, always tense. But i dont agree with that because policeman don't have to look beautiful at the same time" *”

“Dancing is music made visible.”

“What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.”

“God creates, I do not create.
I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it –
from what I see, from what the dancers can do,
from what others do…”

“Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible.
If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned.”
