The deep art... That's the part that has to be guarded like a miser would his money... Like a dope addict would his dope... Like a lover with their love.
Alonzo King
Image
The world loves a clone and a good knock-off. It cheats the artist... In the obsession for technical wizardry, people disappear and if your voice isn't present in a relationship, you don't matter.
Alonzo King

To change the world, you must first change yourself. And baby, that's hard enough.
Alonzo King

The purpose of art is higher than art. What we are really interested in are masterpieces of humanity.

As I got older, I started to do it more and more, and I wanted to learn all of the different types. I grew up doing modern, so I wanted to learn ballet, tap, jazz, and African - just everything.

Dance is not an exercise. Dance is an art.
Alicia Alonso

He [Gene Kelly] once told me dancing was a man's game, as much of a sport as baseball itself. And he made us believe that. He changed our minds and suddenly, all of America wanted to dance just like Gene Kelly.
Liza Minnelli

I liked the structure of ballet.

We are constantly revealing ourselves to each other through our movement learning from and teaching each other without even trying.

Ballet is a dance executed by the human soul.
Alexander Pushkin

I took ballet for two years in high school and then in college on and off, and I went back into class. I'm nowhere near good enough to be a professional, but it's great to be in that environment. The discipline is so impressive.
Peter Vack

I don't think much of a dance step where the girl looks like she was being carried out of a burning building.
Frank Hubbard
Image
What's so wonderful about ballet is that it's mind-driven physicality. It's almost a Greek ideal of body, mind, and form.
Edward Villella
Image
Dancers are the athletes of God.
Albert Einstein
Image
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
Albert Einstein

Dance is like wine it matures with every performance.
Alarmel Valli
Image
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.
William Shakespeare
Image
Dancing is a very living art. It is essentially of the moment, although a very old art. A dancer's art is lived while he is dancing. Nothing is left of his art except the pictures and the memories--when his dancing days are over.
Martha Graham
Image
For you and I are past our dancing days.
William Shakespeare
Image
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
Image
There's no similarity between football and ballet, so this ain't ballet music being played on the field. I'm pumping something that's going to put me in a frame of mind to go to war, and something that's very high tempo and high beat.
Cam Newton
Image
The life of a dancer is tragically short. What is remarkable about the New York City Ballet is that it makes us forget that. Because it keeps the ballet alive.
John Guare
Image
The choreographic process is exhausting. It happens on one's feet after hours of work, and the energy required is roughly the equivalent of writing a novel and winning a tennis match simultaneously.
Agnes de Mille
Image
Ballet technique never becomes easy, it becomes possible
