Even if you weren't born with a genetically perfect body, you can take something like a hand, where everyone has the same capabilities, and you can make it speak. You can make it speak in many different ways.
Sarah Lamb

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
Martha Graham
Image
Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery.
Robert Caro
Image
I know that I'll forever be involved in ballet. This is where my life was meant to be, and I don't see myself straying completely away, ever.
Misty Copeland
Image
There might've been wires, but I have this ability to make myself light. Well you know what, in ballet, when you kind of lift yourself here, it's all up in the head.
Albert Finney
Image
I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.
Liza Minnelli

Boxing is my real passion. I can go to ballet, theatre, movies, or other sporting events... and nothing is like the fights to me. I'm excited by the visual beauty of it. A boxer can look so spectacular by doing a good job.
LeRoy Neiman

Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.
Neve Campbell
Image
At the beginning, ballet accounted for at least two hours out of six hours of my daily training session. Later I devoted less time to ballet, but every workout of mine included training in choreography.
Natalia Yurchenko
Image
I deliberately made an effort not to become an expert on the ballet.
Robert Caro
Image
The woman represents ballet. She is most important, powerful and vital to it. Therefore, she is not less than a man. If anything she is more than in this field.
Misty Copeland

He dances well to whom Fortune pipes.
John Ray

If Balanchine had any secret, it was one that has endured through two hundred years of classical ballet. It is that dancing correctly in three dimensions, on the music, creates the fourth dimension of meaning.
Arlene Croce
Image
The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Image
There's nothing like the force and challenge of a new ballet to galvanize everyone involved in bringing it to life.
Karen Kain
Image
Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
Deborah Bull
Image
The domain of the ballet dancer is not earth but air.

Ballet Beautiful is really good for me, and it doesn't hurt my back, and it's a way for me to kind of get my heart moving and tone every part of my body.
Erin Heatherton
Image
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
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
Yoko Ono
Image
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

God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It's a way of expressing our humanity.
Julie Harris

I had seen the ballet of Swan Lake as a child but it was as an adult, when I saw a production featuring Erik Bruhn, that I first noticed how significant a part the ever-present threat of violence played. This juxtaposition of great beauty and grace with a backdrop of pure evil stayed with me for years.
Walter Dean Myers

Dance design is not simply one element it is that without which ballet cannot exist. As aria is to opera, words to poetry, color to painting, so sequence in steps - their syntax, idiom, vocabulary - are the stuff of stage dancing.
