Dancing appears glamorous, easy, delightful. But the path to paradise of the achievement is not easier than any other. There is fatigue so great that the body cries, even in its sleep. There are times of complete frustration, there are daily small deaths.
Martha Graham

Ballet is like any other art form in that we all start out knowing nothing about it.
Robert Gottlieb
Image
I could have danced all night!
Alan Jay Lerner
Image
It is not a question of who dances but of who or what does not dance.
Ruth St. Denis
Image
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The real beauty in life is that beauty can sometimes occur.
Colum McCann

In France, ballet is on TV ... It's on the eight-o'clock news. It's a cool thing to be a dancer.
Benjamin Millepied

On dancing on pointe: Why don't they just get taller girls?
Henny Youngman

I grew up as a dancer. I did tap, classical ballet, all of that. I did Indian dancing, or Bharata Natyam, classic temple dancing from Madras, originally. My mother always had the great idea that I should learn it.
Roselee Goldberg

I never went to a ballet until I was 45 years old. I don't know why.
Robert Caro

Everything seems to be going faster and faster. It's really harder to create something that endures. The New York City Ballet has succeeded in doing that.

Never excuse yourself.

I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.
Elizabeth Berkley
Image
Dancing is like breathing-missing a day doing either is very bad.
Vera-Ellen
Image
I have a lot of intention behind what I put out there. The reason all this stuff I do works together, the environmental and social, collaborating with ballet companies to score a show, the bike tour - all of that stuff comes together through community building with music.

I want a big man physically as well as intellectually. l want a man with the thigh muscles to give me a good frolic in the sack, the kind who'll tear hell out of a thick steak, and yet who can go to the ballet with me and discuss Hegelian dialectic and know what the hell he's talking about.

You have to be able to cut off from the ballet and relax, or you have anxiety dreams at night, worrying about what you're going to dance the next day, going over every little detail.
Darcey Bussell

Dad worked in a warehouse when I was little and I didn't see him for three years as he was doing all the overtime God gave him to buy me new ballet shoes, or a new tutu.
Jennifer Ellison

I love ballet and I love dancing...... It's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline - It's really hard, but much more fun.
Penelope Cruz
Image
I have too much respect for ballet to dare practice it. I did ask ballerina Megan LeCrone to teach me jetés. She said that was impossible but did observe that I have great feet.
Elad Lassry

I've got used to the fact - just about - that whatever I do is going to be compared to the other Beatles. If I took up ballet dancing, my ballet dancing would be compared with Paul (McCartney)'s bowling.
John Lennon

Wrestling used to be interesting. There was a bit of sham involved, of course, but there was some real wrestling involved. They're just characters now. It's unrecognizable. There's no fighting in American bloody wrestling. They just yell at each other and jump around like overweight ballet dancers.
Shane MacGowan

Excellent! I will still be in time for the ballet!
Jose Raul Capablanca

I really wanted to make it as a ballet dancer to make my mom proud. But it didnt happen.
