If You Want To Understand A Nation,

Dancers Aren't Made Of Their Technique, But Their Passion.

Ballet Technique Never Becomes Easy, It Becomes Possible

But Remember That Intent Is Everything. One Does Not Just Jump, One Lifts Into The Air, One Rises. In The Same Way The Lifted Leg Of An Arabesque Becomes A Wing, And Not A Mechanical Leverage Like A Raised Trap Door. This Is The Precise Difference Between Dancing And Acrobatics. The Dancer Tries To Express Something; The Acrobat Merely Pulls, Raises, Stretches And Grinds. The Acrobat Is Lost In A Web Of Muscles The Dancer Is All But Invisible In Projected Idea.

My Heroines Are Part Of Me And My Heroes Are Part Of What I'd Like To Know.

No Trumpets Sound When The Important Decisions Of Our Life Are Made. Destiny Is Made Known Silently.
