Dancers Quotes

America now has more and better dancers than they have ever had in the history of the country, but that won’t account for the public wants to see Picture Quote #1

What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It’s no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he’s too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It’s too hard to face Picture Quote #1

All women are born dancers in the sense that natural movement becomes their body and grows out of their instinctive feeling for womanhood, motherhood and tenderness Picture Quote #1

Here’s to the dancers who love being inspired by others to dance harder and push themselves more Picture Quote #1

A person can be danced. In all continents the dancers carry little children on their shoulders Picture Quote #1

I went to a public high school and most of the comedy was coming from the black kids and the Asian kids and the Hispanic kids. And, the coolest kids to me where always the black kids. They were always fashion forward and they always dressed the coolest. They were always the best dancers, and just the coolest people Picture Quote #1

As a child growing up in a grey-skied Yorkshire village, I would occasionally happen upon a Bollywood movie on the television. After a few minutes watching a bunch of sari-clad dancers cavorting on a Swiss mountain to tuneless music, I would switch over to some proper drama about housing estates and single mothers Picture Quote #1

You have to decide when it is time to move on. I was dancing on Broadway for many years. Then everyone was either getting injured or retiring and I was dancing with younger dancers Picture Quote #1

A lot of professional dancers become professional when they turn 15 or 16 years old, when they’re still children. So you’ve trained every single waking moment up until that point for a career that could maybe only last 10 years, maybe longer if your body holds up, if your injuries are kept at bay Picture Quote #1

In my head, I wanted to be Madonna, but the music I was writing on paper was not what you’d choreograph dancers in costumes to. It was more coffee-house stuff Picture Quote #1

Somewhere along the line, a concert became a variety show. It was no longer enough for four dudes to play together in front of some guitar amps. Costume changes, an army of dancers, and Broadway theatrics suddenly became standard for a ‘concert.’ Picture Quote #1

Well, it’s not full time - my dancers are only paid for six months of the year in two three-month blocks; but yes, it is possible we could do it in another year Picture Quote #1

Some dancers dream about successful careers...and some dancers wake up and do the hard work that’s necessary to achieve them Picture Quote #1

I think it would be fair to say that most female dancers have dealt with, whether it’s an extreme, or minor complex in eating disorders. So the first thing I would say to girls who are feeling that way is you’re not alone. You’re far from alone. You’re the majority. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what you’re feeling Picture Quote #1

Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted Picture Quote #1

Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world Picture Quote #1

Dancers have always been a kind of background image, we’ve always danced behind an artist or we’ve danced in a movie behind the actors. We’ve always been very secondary Picture Quote #1

I would advise dancers, musicians and others in the entertainment industry to take up yoga, as it clears the mind and creates a sense of balance and stillness which is important for any performing artist Picture Quote #1

It’s great that ballroom dancing is being recognised. For many years ballroom dancers were misunderstood and other dance forms didn’t want anything to do with us Picture Quote #1

From 1961 to 1964, I was fortunate enough to work at a think tank in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. As a writer and editor, I reported in a publication about the thinkers. Our offices were in a former mansion; I worked in what had been the ballroom. As I sat typing my copy, I imagined the dancers waltzing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My dad was very religious growing up and a little bit closed minded, and I think me being in the theater, two of my three sisters are dancers, so being in the arts world has changed and opened him up in a lot of ways Picture Quote #1

I dug up my dad’s old Fred Astaire tapes, and now I find him super-inspiring. He’s, like, one of the best dancers Picture Quote #1

My body is very different from most of the dancers I dance with. My hair is different than most I dance with. But I didn’t let that stop me. Black girls rock and can be ballerinas Picture Quote #1

There’s something great about terrible westerns. They look like gay dancers and bad, overwrought dialogue and overacting, black and white sped up horses Picture Quote #1

Dancers use their bodies in extraordinary ways, so we are chronically pre-arthritic, because of how we use our muscles and our bones Picture Quote #1

In Degas’s compositions with several dancers, their steps, postures and gestures often resemble the almost geometric, formal letters of an alphabet, whereas their bodies and heads are recalcitrant, sinuous and individual Picture Quote #1

Empty Moves’ is elegantly and coolly inventive. Two pairs of dancers shadow each other in slow, deliberate rearrangements and manipulations of legs and torsos, only occasionally switching partners or breaking free of the formal patterning Picture Quote #1

Wanna move out the hood and defeat that cancer I ask how she stay on her feet like dancers How she keep on adding paint to a life-size canvas Picture Quote #1

There’s an appreciation, not unlike that for dancers or tightrope walkers, of the body undergoing tests and coming through them by courage and technique; a desire for clean results Picture Quote #1
