Dancer Quotes
-
Performing, not rehearsing, is a dancer's raison d'etre, and I've been lucky to 'etre' in some extraordinary places - Cuba, Paris, Mongolia. In particular, a two-week stint in Greece leaps to mind. We danced in the Acropolis's Herodes Atticus amphitheater, once a venue for gladiator spectacles.
Sascha Radetsky
-
He was trained as a dancer, and he had both a dancer's body and a dancer's capacity. He incarnated for me the most appealing and tragic aspects of American lower-class life.

There are some wonderful parts in the movie Loulou where Loulou used to be a dancer and a cabaret. To see her kind of be able to interact with another human being so isolated for so long, it's just neat to see that being played out and how fun and explore that.
Boti Bliss
-
I've done everything. I've sung, done records, plays... It just so happened my first professional job was as a dancer. I've done the whole shebang, darling. But dancing was my first professional engagement in 1974. I got paid for it, so that was it, my vocation. But my parents weren't keen. They wanted me to be an accountant in Italy. Or a lawyer. They were furious. I had to run away. I had to leave the country.
Bruno Tonioli
-
All due respect, and trying to be as modest as I can be: I am a dancer.
Al Pacino

You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

I never claimed to be the best singer, I never claimed to be the best dancer, but I do claim to be the person that can put them together best.
Elgin Baylor Lumpkin
-
I'm a terrible dancer. Terrible. Just the pits. And I had to do these cheerleading things and it was just cringe-worthy. I mean, I'm so bad, so that was painful.
Selma Blair

P. G. Wodehouse

Come now, what masques, what dances shall we have
To wear away this long age of three hours
Between our after-supper and bedtime?
William Shakespeare
-
He would be laughed at, that should go about to make a fine dancer out of a country hedger, at past fifty. And he will not have much better success, who shall endeavour, at that age, to make a man reason well, or speak handsomely, who has never been used to it, though you should lay before him a collection of all the best precepts of logic or oratory.
John Locke
Nazareth

And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.

Kai Greene

Adam Sandler
