I Studied The Way I Danced- To

Dancing Is Such A Despised And Dishonored Trade That If You Tell A Doctor Or A Laywer You Do Choreography He'll Look At You As If You Were A Hummingbird. Dancers Don't Get Invited To Visit People. It Is Assumed A Boy Dancer Will Run Off With The Spoons And A Girl With The Head Of The House.

When I Dance I Am Really Meditating Rather Then Performing For An Audience. I Am Completely Absorbed By The Music And The Steps I Choose To Respond To The Music.

I Want One Word On My Tombstone - Dancer.

One Of The Good Things About My Having Some Recognition Is That I Can Do Something For The People I Think Ought To Have More And Correct Some Of The Matters Fate Fails To Take Care Of.

If You Want To Understand A Nation, Look At Its Dances And Listen To Its Folk Songs - Don't Pay Any Attention To Its Politicians.
