Ballet Quotes
I've trained in dance for most of my life, but ballet was the thing I left behind the earliest because they felt like I didn't have the right body for it, and I didn't like that and never felt like I could be a part of that dance structure.
Susan Kelechi Watson
Ballet requires movements which are very unnatural. With every step, you do a circular movement of the hip. You turn out from the hip and make your knees point out to the side instead of forward.
Darcey Bussell
I have too much respect for ballet to dare practice it. I did ask ballerina Megan LeCrone to teach me jetés. She said that was impossible but did observe that I have great feet.
Elad Lassry
You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.
Robert Smith
The Cure
There's no similarity between football and ballet, so this ain't ballet music being played on the field. I'm pumping something that's going to put me in a frame of mind to go to war, and something that's very high tempo and high beat.
Cam Newton
I love dancing, actually. My mother taught children's dance, ballet, tap, jazz...I'm very flexible.
Michael Angarano
Learning ballet is wonderful for children even if they never become dancers. It is wonderful because it teaches discipline, grace, and manners.
Anna Paskevska
Ballet really lends itself to that because there's such a sense of ritual, with wrapping the shoes every day and preparing new shoes for every performance. It's such a process. It's almost religious, in nature.
Natalie Portman
I love going to see the theatre whether it's a Broadway play or a Russian ballet company.
Michael Ealy
If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's nice for me to have a ballet as a kind of platform for creativity, because unlike modern dance or contemporary dance or downtown dance, ballet is formalized, and there's something orthodox about it that I like. I like that there's less emphasis on subversion and innovation. I actually think that my musical vernacular or my musical voice is also less inclined toward innovation and subversion. I think I'm a traditionalist.
Sufjan Stevens
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
Every girl - and boy, if you so choose - should take some ballet. Because ballet gives you grace. It gives you the ability to work with your hands. It's all about your hands.
Stevie Nicks
Fleetwood Mac
Ballet has a very small audience, unfortunately.
Sascha Radetsky
I liked the structure of ballet.
Wendy Whelan
Theatre can transform a child's life, just as an early cultural experience whether with opera, ballet, music or art is a wonderful thing because it opens the door to a life-long experience, a life-long enjoyment.
Michael Morpurgo
I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.
Jessica Brown Findlay
I'm enamored with the art world. Anytime you look at anything that's considered artistic, there's a commercial world around it: the ballet, opera, any kind of music. It can't exist without it.
Steve Martin
