Dancer Quotes
-

Sascha Radetsky

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

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