· If you could explain something in words, there would be no point in dancing it.

· Dance: Higher Mind in the Freest of Bodies.

· The dancer's body is simply a luminous manifestation of his soul.

· Only a genius can become worthy of my body.

· Similarly, there are three types of dancers: first, those who regard the dance as a kind of gymnastic exercise, consisting of impersonal and graceful arabesques; the second are those who concentrate and betray their body to the rhythm of the desired emotions, transmitting learned sensations or experiences. And, finally, there are those who turn their body into a brilliant stream, an element completely subordinate to the movements of the soul.

· There must always be a movement that perfectly expresses a given individual body, a given individual soul.

· In my school, I will not teach children to slavishly imitate my movements. I'll teach them my own moves. In general, I will not force them to memorize certain forms, on the contrary, I will strive to develop in them those movements that are characteristic of them.

· All movements must be judged in terms of purity and naturalness, and blind adherence to tradition is meaningless.

Gabriela Roth:

· If you don't dance your own dance, who will?

· When we give ourselves entirely to the spirit of dance, it becomes prayer.

· Dance is movement, action, and like any action, it opens us to ourselves in doing.

The essence of dance - and I will have to define the concept of "essence" - consists mainly in movement. Of course, you will immediately object that basketball is also associated with movement.

In dance, in fact, movement is an end in itself, it has no purpose other than itself.

Vicki Baum:

There are shortcuts to happiness, and dance is one of them.

Doris Humphrey:

The dancer believes that his art can say something that is inexpressible neither in words nor in anything else but dance... There are moments when the mere dignity of movement replaces entire volumes of words.

This alone justifies the existence of the dancer and is the reason for his desire to comprehend more, to look deeper into his art.1937

I'm least interested in how people move, I'm interested in what moves them.

Adabella Radici:

Suppressing the need to dance is harmful to health - both the soul and the body rust.

The child begins to sing before talking, to dance before walking. Music is in our hearts from the very beginning.
