"...есть странный дар лететь на пламя, чтоб там остаться навсегда."

"dancing...is no mere translation or abstraction from life. It is life itself."

"...a dancer should be able to raise an arm and make someone cry."

"Dance is a poem of which each movement is a word."

"Learning to walk sets you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express who you are."
