Dance Quotes
The art of beautiful motion is far and away the oldest. Before man learned how to use any instruments at all, he moved the most perfect instrument of all, his body. He did this with such abandon that the cultural history of prehistoric and ancient man is, for the most part, nothing but the history of the dance.
Gerard van der Leeuw
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made
Ted Shawn
But when I dance, it’s incredible. I can’t describe it, there’s no words. You just tap into your mojo and you just go.
Johnny Borrell
Razorlight
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
Muhammad Ali
I'm the same guy at that podium preaching to the people on every single song. I'm not doing a dance for you on another song. It's all a direct assault.
Fred Durst
Limp Bizkit
Dance is like wine; it matures with every performance.
Alarmel Valli
My love for dance was so strong.
Phyllis Smith
I want to feel like I can dance or party all night and not be worried about people stepping on my dress.
Aidy Bryant
The body moves through space every day, and in architecture in cities that can be orchestrated. Not in a dictatorial fashion, but in a way of creating options, open-ended sort of personal itineraries within a building. And I see that as akin to cinematography or choreography, where episodic movement, episodic moments, occur in dance and film.
Antoine Predock
Hearing the way we can dance in and out of a few different worlds and keep the music credible. It just feels like a natural progression to take this to the bigger leagues.
Nathan Vincent Duvall
Disciples
Dance design is not simply one element; it is that without which ballet cannot exist. As aria is to opera, words to poetry, color to painting, so sequence in steps - their syntax, idiom, vocabulary - are the stuff of stage dancing.
Lincoln Kirstein
'They Don't Care About Us' by Michael Jackson - This song makes me want to dance, and I fell in love with it watching 'This Is It' with my kids.
Summer Sanders
Frankly, I think that's something that black people in America have often done - finding ways under very, very difficult circumstances to be subversive, but also to push things forward. And I think that applies to music. I think it applies to dance. I think it applies to a number of things.
Andre Holland
It depends how lenient you are with your definition of artist. If you're going to include those who tap dance at the high school recital, then maybe I am.
Peter Falk
One of the most beautiful sights in dance is American Ballet Theatre in full flight.
Clive Barnes
I clutched at the brow. The mice in my interior had now got up an informal dance and were buck-and-winging all over the place like a bunch of Nijinskys.
P. G. Wodehouse
Music and dance have also always been a communal activity, something that everyone participated in. The thought of a musical concert in which a class of professionals performed for a quiet audience was virtually unknown throughout our species' history.
Daniel Levitin
You make me smile like the sun, fall out bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head. Spin like a record crazy on a sunday night. You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like the sun buzz like a bee, just the thought of you can drive me wild. Oh you make me smile.
