I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.
Katy B
Image
I'm in a very good place now because I do theater, I do TV and I make movies. I was a dancer, so I dance a little bit. I was a musician, so I do a little bit of music. And I do all of this in four or five different languages, and all over the world.

It fit into my scheme of things for many reasons. At the time it was true that male dancers were looked down upon, and it was true that a lot of the male dancers were effeminate. But what I was really trying to do was develop something that would be American.
Gene Kelly

The relationship between the audience and the dancers goes through many different stages. Someone seeing my work for the first time may or may not pick up on that.

The diagonal gives a three-dimensional feeling to dancers that cannot be achieved when they are only front and back. On the diagonal, more movement is automatically visible.
Lucinda Childs

Thinking is the biggest mistake a dancer could make. You have to feel.
Michael Jackson

If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
You know, the period of World War I and the Roaring Twenties were really just about the same as today. You worked, and you made a living if you could, and you tired to make the best of things. For an actor or a dancer, it was no different then than today. It was a struggle.
James Cagney

The domain of the ballet dancer is not earth but air.
Lincoln Kirstein

If you're a dancer, study singing. You have to do everything and do it well. You have to study acting. You have to study all of it. You have to find workshops, get out on the stage...and fail.
Debbie Reynolds

When I was a little kid back in Moscow, Russia, I've always thought I would become an artist or a folk dancer or an astronomer. In fact, if you'd asked me then about a life of solitary writing I would have said, Oh how boring! Imagine, to sit at a desk all day and just write.
Vera Nazarian

Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today.
Elton John

Dance in the most perishable of the arts. Ballets are forgotten, ballerinas retire, choreographers die--and what remains of that glorious production which so excited us a decade ago, a year ago, or even last night?
Jack Anderson

A good dancer is one who listens to the musicWe dance the music not the steps. Anyone who aspires to dance never thinks about what he is going to do. What he cares about is that he follows the music. You see, we are painters. We paint the music with our feet.
Carlos Gavito
Image
I am not the first straight dancer or the last.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Image
A businessman is a hybrid of a dancer and a calculator.
Paul Valery

The dancer's body is simply the luminous manifestation of the soul.
Isadora Duncan

I'm a classical ballet dancer, and at the end of the day I want to be with American Ballet Theater, performing classical ballets.
Misty Copeland
Image
I've always wanted to be a professional dancer, I'd always wanted to be a ballerina. I trained for 13 years but it never came to be.
Jenna Jameson

While the poet wrestles with the horses on his brain and the sculptor wounds his eyes on the hard spark of alabaster, the dancer battles the air around her, air that threatens at any moment to destroy her harmony or to open huge open empty spaces where her rhythm will be annihilated.
Federico Garcia Lorca

Mum, who had been a dancer with a small ballet company before she got married, was full of encouragement. She didn't say, This is really good, you should do this, She just encouraged us to do whatever we liked.
Dannii Minogue
Image
I initially told people I wanted to be a dancer and ultimately a Rockette. I didn't really know what a musical theatre performer was other than the Shirley Temple type.
Erica Schroeder
Image
I focus on having a feminine body, a dancer's body. I do resistance and dance and cardio. I like hiking, swimming, being active. It clears your mind and it's a good way to decompress.
Ashley Greene

As you get older, the physical abilities decrease, which is particularly frustrating because your brain gets so good! So as you are becoming less technically or physically able, younger dancers are emerging who need the space to perform.
