Dancer Quotes
The dancer, or dancers, must transform the stage for the audience as well as for themselves into an autonomous, complete, virtual realm, and all motions into a play of visible forces in unbroken, virtual time...Both space and time, as perceptible factors, disappear almost entirely in the dance illusion.
Susanne Langer
Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
All dancers have a cumulative tendency, because each beat of the tom-tom has an almost irresistible appeal. Soon, those who were just spectators would dance too.
Camara Laye
As a singer you're a great dancer.
Amy Leslie
A dancer must have tremendous personality. A God like Christ and even a godman like Rajneesh had some personality. Combination of talent, dedication, creativity and being emotive is imperative. A coupling of these four qualities with technique is essential. Monotony is deterrent as it regards your style and I notice today, that new dancers perform in a startlingly similar fashion.
Yamini Krishnamurthy
As a dancer, I was always the physical comedy girl. I love it so much.
Anne Fletcher
A dancer should learn from all the arts. Go to museums and look at the paintings. See how they balance things. Everything you do in the arts enriches you.
Alicia Alonso
Say, what abridgement have you for this evening?
What masque, what music? How shall we beguile
The lazy time if not with some delight?
William Shakespeare
You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Well, I am as much a cheerleader for President Obama as Sen. McConnell is a Chippendale dancer.
Alison Lundergan Grimes
The most important thing to do as an artist is to get out of your comfort zone and work with different people: people who can't read a note of music, people who have incredible classical skills, blues and jazz musicians, pop artists, visual artists, dancers and actors. Learn from people who are creative in a different way to you and you'll keep evolving.
Katie Noonan
I really became convinced I wanted to tell the story of the real-life model for the Degas sculpture 'Little Dancer Aged 14,' which was unveiled in 1881, the Belle Epoque.
