I had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside.
Zoe Saldana
Image
I was a ballet dancer for so long, but when I realized I had reached my limit and that I couldn't go any further I knew I wanted to pursue acting. That's one thing you don't use as a dancer - your voice. And the one thing I use most in my life is my voice so it's wonderful to get to express myself artistically through the biggest instrument I use.
Zoe Saldana

Dance till the stars come down from the rafters Dance, Dance, Dance 'till you drop.
W. H. Auden
Image
In dance the hand hath liberty to touch, the eye to gaze, the arm for to embrace.
George Gascoigne

My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.
Shuler Hensley

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

I've got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.
Neil Patrick Harris

I need a big wave to really excel. The smaller stuff is a bit like...ballet for me.
Laird Hamilton
Image
I can always invent movement, and sometimes it can be fitted into the right place, but that is not choreography. It is the music that dictates the whole shape of the work. I do not believe in the permanence of anything in ballet save the purely classical.
George Balanchine

Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don't quite know how I'm going to do them, because I haven't lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.
Suzanne Farrell

Ballet teaches you how to hold yourself.
Joseph Altuzarra
Image
I have a ballet barre in my gym. I turn the music up so loud that the walls are pulsating, and I go for it for an hour.
Catherine Zeta-Jones

The New York City Ballet is obviously speaking to a whole new generation and bringing it the same wonder and beauty that it brought previous generations
Robert Caro
Image
A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head.
Agnes de Mille
Image
Applause lavished at a whim and without discernment, often proves the ruin of young people training for a stage career.
Jean-Georges Noverre
Image
If mutual fund directors are independent, then I'm the lead character in the Bolshoi Ballet.
Charlie Munger

Lesbians, homosexuals, masochism, sadism are not perversions. Actually, there are only two perversions: hockey on grass and ballet on ice.
Faina Ranevskaya

In order to dance professionally, you have to start at a young age. No matter what, your muscle structure and your bones have to be groomed from a very young age. Nobody wakes up at 17 and decides to become a ballet dancer. I'm saying that and someone's going to be born tomorrow who decides to do that and I'm going to have my foot in my mouth.
Joan Chen

Baseball is beautiful....the supreme performing art. It combines in perfect harmony the magnificent features of ballet, drama, art, and ingenuity.
Bowie Kuhn
Image
A toe shoe is as eccentric as the ballerina who wears it: their marriage is a commitment.
Toni Bentley
Image
One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet's curtain calls is the Royal Ballet's dancing.
Clive Barnes
Image
Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.
Deborah Bull

I am both proud and honored to be on the Board of Directors for the Texas Ballet Theater.
Janine Turner

This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.
