Ballet technique is arbitrary and very difficult. It never becomes easy--it becomes possible.

The most essential thing in dance discipline is devotion, the steadfast and willing devotion to the labor that makes the classwork not a gymnastic hour and a half, or at the lowest level, a daily drudgery, but a devotion that allows the classroom discipline to become moments of dancing too... -Merce Cunningham

Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired. -Martha Graham
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
Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. -Martha Graham
Dance is the only art in which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made. -Ted Shawn
Learning to walk set you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express with your whole self the person you are. -Melissa Hayden

If you want to dance seriously, do. You must think about it day and night, dream about it,--desire it. -Christa Justus
The dance is the mother of the arts. Music and poetry exist in time; painting and architecture in space. But the dance lives at once in time and space. -Curt Sachs
People tend to look at dancers like we are these little jewels, little cardboard cut-outs, and yet we have blood and guts and go through Hell. Susan Jaffe
Someone once said that dancers work just as hard as policemen, always alert, always tense, but see policemen don't have to be beautiful at the same time. -George Balanchine
The trained dancer must not only have grace and elegance, but also the leap of an Olympic hurdler, the balance of a tight rope walker and panther like strength and agility. -Camilla Jesse
