Each morning I do my ballet class for one hour; after that, it means one hour less to get ready. ~ Carine Roitfeld
Ballet Class quotes by Carine Roitfeld
My first ballet class was on a basketball court. I'm in my gym clothes and my socks trying to do this thing called ballet. I didn't know anything about it. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them. ~ Vicki Baum
Ballet Class quotes by Vicki Baum
My career came together very quickly. I only trained for four years before I became a professional, so I didn't have a lot of time to sit back and be inspired before I took my first ballet class. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
When I was five years old, I told my parents that I wanted to take ballet. So, ballet was the focus of my life ... until puberty. Then I discovered boys and started dating a guy with a mohawk who'd come to my ballet class and freak everybody out. Shortly after that is when I quit. ~ Chandra West
Ballet Class quotes by Chandra West
Every teacher will tell you that you cannot dance classical technique with perfection, there is no such thing, there is no way. So you have to adapt the technique to your abilities or to your deficiencies. Learn to cheat! ~ Jiri Kylian
Ballet Class quotes by Jiri Kylian
Well, I took ballet for many, many years, so my whole childhood really revolved around dance class. I grew up around dance; my mother was a dancer. ~ Amy Sherman-Palladino
Ballet Class quotes by Amy Sherman-Palladino
I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for 'Six Feet Under', last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day. ~ Michelle Trachtenberg
Ballet Class quotes by Michelle Trachtenberg
When I was about 12, I was studying Chinese and ballet with my brother, and one morning Jonathan said to me, 'I don't think I'm going to go to ballet class anymore,' and I looked at him and said, 'You know, I don't think I'm going to go to Chinese class anymore.' ~ Damian Woetzel
Ballet Class quotes by Damian Woetzel
Me in high school, I was kind of a loner. I had a handful of friends. I'd eat my lunch in my car every day in my senior year. I went to ballet. I was a ballerina, so I was very focused on that. You kind of have to be. That was two-thirds of my week, going to ballet class. ~ Olesya Rulin
Ballet Class quotes by Olesya Rulin
Being in ballet class, being on the stage, being surrounded by my peers at American Ballet Theater every day, keeps me so humble and grounded. Being in ballet class, I feel, is like this meditation for me every morning. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
My earliest memory is of sitting at Mum's dance school, watching her teach a ballet class. ~ Sarah Parish
Ballet Class quotes by Sarah Parish
I don't feel like my life is that of a superstar! Every day I wake up, I take the train, I go to my ballet class. My everyday life is pretty normal. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
I wake up every morning, and I go to ballet class no matter what's going on the night before. That's my priority, and that's what makes me feel sane and not removed from the realities of my world. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
Most ballerinas take their first ballet class when they are 5 or 6 years old. I was 13 when I took mine on the basketball court of the San Pedro Boys & Girls Club in California. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
The vocabulary and manner of classical ballet express a high order of discipline and restraint, a sense of harmony with forces larger and more lasting than the individual. ~ Marcia Siegel
Ballet Class quotes by Marcia Siegel
My dream was to become a ballet dancer, but after a year in bed with rheumatic fever at 13, I had grown too tall, and had no muscle tone left. I tried a ballet class and couldn't even do a plie without falling over. It was my first death. ~ Carmen Dell'Orefice
Ballet Class quotes by Carmen Dell'Orefice
Dance till the stars come down from the rafters
Dance, Dance, Dance 'till you drop. ~ W. H. Auden
Ballet Class quotes by W. H. Auden
Alex was right in front of the mantel now, bent forward, his nose mere inches from a picture of me.
"Oh,God. Don't look at that!"
It was from the year-end recital of my one and only year of ballet class. I was six: twig legs, a huge gap where my two front teeth had recently been, and a bumblebee costume. Nonna had done her best, but there was only so much she could do with yellow and black spandex and a bee butt. Dad had found one of those headbands with springy antennai attached. I'd loved the antennae. The more enthusiastic my jetes, the more they bounced. Of course, I'd also jeted my flat-chested little self out of the top of my costume so many times that, during the actual recital itself,I'd barely moved at all, victim to the overwhelming modesty of the six-year-old. Now, looking at the little girl I'd been, I wished someone had told her not to worry so much, that within a year, that smooth, skinny, little bare shoulder would have turned into the bane of her existence. That she was absolutely perfect.
"Nice stripes," Alex said casually, straightening up.
That stung. It should't have-it was just a photo-but it did. I don't know what I'd expected him to say about the picture. It wasn't that. But then, I didn't expect the wide grin that spread across his face when he got a good look at mine, either.
"Those," he announced, pointing to a photo of my mulleted dad leaning against the painted hood of his Mustang "are nice stripes. That-" he pointed to the ~ Melissa Jensen
Ballet Class quotes by Melissa Jensen
I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me. ~ Diane Kruger
Ballet Class quotes by Diane Kruger
Dance, dance, dance till you drop. ~ W. H. Auden
Ballet Class quotes by W. H. Auden
Blues
Elizabeth Alexander, 1962

I am lazy, the laziest
girl in the world. I sleep during
the day when I want to, 'til
my face is creased and swollen,
'til my lips are dry and hot. I
eat as I please: cookies and milk
after lunch, butter and sour cream
on my baked potato, foods that
slothful people eat, that turn
yellow and opaque beneath the skin.
Sometimes come dinnertime Sunday
I am still in my nightgown, the one
with the lace trim listing because
I have not mended it. Many days
I do not exercise, only
consider it, then rub my curdy
belly and lie down. Even
my poems are lazy. I use
syllabics instead of iambs,
prefer slant to the gong of full rhyme,
write briefly while others go
for pages. And yesterday,
for example, I did not work at all!
I got in my car and I drove
to factory outlet stores, purchased
stockings and panties and socks
with my father's money.

To think, in childhood I missed only
one day of school per year. I went
to ballet class four days a week
at four-forty-five and on
Saturdays, beginning always
with plie, ending with curtsy.
To think, I knew only industry,
the industry of my race
and of immigrants, the radio
tuned always to the station
that said, Line up your summer
job months in advance. Work hard
and do not shame your family,
who worke ~ Elizabeth Alexander
Ballet Class quotes by Elizabeth Alexander
I don't try to dance better than anybody but myself. ~ Mikhail Baryshnikov
Ballet Class quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
But disruption as disruption isn't enough. In order to actually effect deep and lasting change, those opposed to the current social order must locate another base of power that can credibly challenge the power of incumbent interests. I think the answer lies in a newly radicalized upper middle class. One ~ Christopher L. Hayes
Ballet Class quotes by Christopher L. Hayes
World class communities come in all shapes and sizes, they are not determined by geography, and/or natural resources so much as by the mindset of their local leadership. ~ Don A. Holbrook
Ballet Class quotes by Don A. Holbrook
A lot of people have a lot of faith in Karole Armitage. They see her as bold, inventive, indefatigable. 'America isn't working out? There's always Europe. Ballet? No? Go modern. Keep going! Show 'em!' ~ Robert Gottlieb
Ballet Class quotes by Robert Gottlieb
Mira Levenson. Aged twelve. Looks, long dark shiny hair, dark brown eyes (almost black), brown skin. Beautiful. Favorite colour, copper orange, I think. Personality, clever, bright, serious, shy, funny without realizing it, holds back her thoughts, mystery girl, arty. What I've noticed: she's stronger than she thinks she is; she doesn't speak much ay school. What I know: she's got a loud laugh (when she lets it out). Her best friend is Millie Lockhart. She doesn't need Millie as much as she thinks she does. Her grandmother is dying and she loves her. She started talking in Pat Print's class. I know she doesn't know how much I think of her, how much I miss her if she's not around. What I think she thinks about me is that I'm a bit of a joker, but I'm deadly serious.

See you on Friday!

Jidé ~ Sita Brahmachari
Ballet Class quotes by Sita Brahmachari
When excesses such as lax lending standards become widespread and persist for some time, people are lulled into a false sense of security, creating an even more dangerous situation. In some cases, excesses migrate beyond regional or national borders, raising the ante for investors and governments. These excesses will eventually end, triggering a crisis at least in proportion to the degree of the excesses. Correlations between asset classes may be surprisingly high when leverage rapidly unwinds. ~ Seth Klarman
Ballet Class quotes by Seth Klarman
Every decision I have made - from changing jobs, to changing partners, to changing homes - has been taken with trepidation. I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far... In the past several years I have learned, in short, to trust myself. Not to eradicate fear but to go on in spite of fear. Not to become insensitive to distinguished critics but to follow my own writer's instinct. My job is not to paralyze myself by anticipating judgment but to do the best that I can and let judgment fall where it may. The difference between the woman who is writing this essay and the college girl sitting in her creative writing class in 1961 is mostly a matter of nerve and daring - the nerve to trust my own instincts and the daring to be a fool. No one ever found wisdom without being a fool. ~ Erica Jong
Ballet Class quotes by Erica Jong
Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Ballet Class quotes by George Bernard Shaw
To succeed, this movement will have to change our ideals in fundamental ways. It will have to kill off the traditional American dream, the idea of constant striving for a better future, symbolized by the middle-class goal of a rising income and the purchase of a little house with a yard - not to mention the freedom to move where you please, run your life, and govern your town with your neighbors when you get there. Greg Galluzzo, Obama's mentor and the man who created the grassroots crusade that inspired Building One America, dismisses the American dream as a sham. What really makes Americans move to the suburbs, says Galluzzo, is 'racism and greed. ~ Stanley Kurtz
Ballet Class quotes by Stanley Kurtz
The teacher should make a concerted effort never to lose his temper in the presence of the class. If a man, he may take refuge in profane soliloquies. If a woman, she may follow the example of one sweet-faced tranquil girl who went out in the yard and gnawed a post. ~ William Lyon Phelps
Ballet Class quotes by William Lyon Phelps
The division of the world which followed defined certain parts of the world as 'nature', that is, as savage, uncontrolled and, therefore, open for exploitation and civilizing efforts… the process of naturalization' did not affect only the colonies as a whole and women of the working class the women of the bourgeoisie also were defined into nature as mere breeders and rearers of the heirs of the capitalist class. But in contrast to the African women who were seen as part of 'savage' nature, the bourgeois women were seen as 'domesticated'
nature. ~ Maria Mies
Ballet Class quotes by Maria Mies
When you have a liberal class that no longer functions, when those people who traditionally defend and care about a civil society no longer do so, then you cede power to very frightening, deformed figures, all of which we are watching leap up around the fringes of our political establishment - this lunatic fringe, which has largely taken over the Republican Party. ~ Chris Hedges
Ballet Class quotes by Chris Hedges
The best hopes of any community rest upon that class of its gifted young men who are not encumbered with large possessions ... I now speak of extensive scholarship and ripe culture in science and art ... It is not large possessions, it is large expectations, or rather large hopes, that stimulate the ambition of the young. ~ Rutherford B. Hayes
Ballet Class quotes by Rutherford B. Hayes
I graduated J&W in the top ninety-three percent of my class, and I would have graduated higher, but I flunked gravy. My gravy had lumps in it, and that pretty much sums up my life so far. Not that it's been all bad; more that it hasn't been entirely smooth. ~ Janet Evanovich
Ballet Class quotes by Janet Evanovich
I tell you," said Augustine, "if there is anything that revealed with the strength of a divine law in our times, it is that the masses are to rise, and the under class becomes the upper one. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
Ballet Class quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
She used to leave chewed pencils on her desk every single day in calculus class.
I may have picked them up.
I may have saved them.
They may still be in a drawer somewhere in my old room. ~ L.J. Shen
Ballet Class quotes by L.J. Shen
I have that working class fear of having nothing. I've always got one eye on what's in the bank. ~ Jasper Carrott
Ballet Class quotes by Jasper Carrott
Maybe they didn't want you to realize that every civilization has its weakness. There's always one thing we depend on. And if someone takes it away all that's left is some story in a history class. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Ballet Class quotes by Scott Westerfeld
I'm not so fond of people myself, Evvy, but I took my vows for a reason. There are two classes of people in the world, the destroyers and the builders. I want to build, not destroy. You need to ask yourself who you're going to be. ~ Tamora Pierce
Ballet Class quotes by Tamora Pierce
I'm sufficient of a doctrinaire to believe that the novel is the product of a leisured class. Actually. ~ Angela Carter
Ballet Class quotes by Angela Carter
There is danger that someday the farm land will be gone, the Downtown will be deserted, and the middle class living outside the city boundaries. If it is done intentionally, then that is our choice, but if it is allowed simply to happen without purpose, then that is ignorance. Indianapolis contains fantastic elements to become a vital city, but frequently our heritage has been destroyed in favor of cheap development and easy profits. Architects are not perfect, and many chances to improve our city have been lost. They allow the client to build structures without concern for what that building will do to the surrounding environment. The matter of conscience falls prey to the matter of making a living. A desire to improve our quality of life on the part of the client and profession will provide the best solution for all. Readers of this book, be inquisitive, explore your city, question its growth, let your feelings be known if your city is faulty, speak out if it is praiseworthy. Talk to your architects, politicians and developers; they are professionals, but they are also your servants. Use them to make your city better. Enjoy Indianapolis. It is a city to be lived in and can be taken to heart if one tries. ~ Rick A. Ball
Ballet Class quotes by Rick A. Ball
All too often we think of community in terms of being with folks like ourselves: the same class, same race, same ethnicity, same social standing and the like..I think we need to be wary: we need to work against the danger of evoking something that we don't challenge ourselves to actually practice. ~ Bell Hooks
Ballet Class quotes by Bell Hooks
More pernicious than the power of a dictator is that of a class; the most terrible - the tyranny of a majority. ~ Emma Goldman
Ballet Class quotes by Emma Goldman
His own children were not members of the Clemson incoming freshman class, but two of his nieces and a nephew were. On the news, he outlined his problems with the summer-reading committee's selection. The book talks in graphic terms about pornography, about fetish, about masturbation, about multiple sex partners . . . The book contains a very extensive list of over-the-top sexual and antireligious references. The explicit message that this sends to students is that they are encouraged to find themselves sexually. ~ Ann Patchett
Ballet Class quotes by Ann Patchett
Every world-class leader listens to and acts on the truth! ~ Peter Psichogios
Ballet Class quotes by Peter Psichogios
No society ever thrived because it had a large and growing class of parasites living off those who produce. ~ Thomas Sowell
Ballet Class quotes by Thomas Sowell
The class situation [at Art Institute on Elmwood Avenue] was such that one would be very much on their own to paint or draw. The faculty was roving to give opinions or help out technically, which all the faculty did very well. ~ Paul Smith
Ballet Class quotes by Paul Smith
Every departure from class struggle has fatal results for the destiny of socialism. ~ Enver Hoxha
Ballet Class quotes by Enver Hoxha
We usually spend one hour per week on ballet but Marta Karolyi has us do a lot of compulsory floor in the morning practice. ~ Kristie Phillips
Ballet Class quotes by Kristie Phillips
At such times a young couple found it difficult to believe that in a few hours the whistle would call them, two slaves amongst a multitude of slaves, when they felt that each other was the most important person in the world! They walked on air, and saw the stars shine , and even poverty could not numb their hearts, but let them stray for a short time in that fairy garden whose gate opens but once , and , once closing, nevermore! Miss Nobody- Ethel Carnie ~ Ethel Carnie Holdsworth
Ballet Class quotes by Ethel Carnie Holdsworth
It's very difficult for me to do fund raising for my own organization if I'm working for other companies because sponsors will say, 'Well, hey, man, if she's doing a ballet for Ballet Theatre, we'll give money to Ballet Theatre.' ~ Twyla Tharp
Ballet Class quotes by Twyla Tharp
I noticed that among this class of colored men the word "nigger" was freely used in about the same sense as the word "fellow," and sometimes as a term of almost endearment; but I soon learned that its use was positively and absolutely prohibited to white men. ~ James Weldon Johnson
Ballet Class quotes by James Weldon Johnson
Hunger justifies the middle classes. ~ Julien Torma
Ballet Class quotes by Julien Torma
First you do everything possible to make sure your world is antibourgeois, that it defies bourgeois tastes, that it mystifies the mob, the public, that it outdistances the insensible middle-class multitudes by light-years of subtlety and intellect - and then, having succeeded admirably, you ask with a sense of See-what-I-mean? outrage: look, they don't even buy our products! (Usually referred to as "quality art.") ~ Tom Wolfe
Ballet Class quotes by Tom Wolfe
Always tell the absolute truth ...no matter how unbelievable! ~ Michael K Dane
Ballet Class quotes by Michael K Dane
The moments of the class must belong to the student - not the students, but to the very undivided student. You don't teach a class. You teach a student. ~ Ken Bain
Ballet Class quotes by Ken Bain
Class clowns become actors. ~ Jasper Fforde
Ballet Class quotes by Jasper Fforde
I've gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground. ~ Marvin L. Cohen
Ballet Class quotes by Marvin L. Cohen
The flowing movements and relaxing music softens the sense and release the soul. This way my students not only enjoy moving their bodies with ease, but they also have the satisfaction of knowing that they can benefit from this Art for as long as they shall live (that I presume will be much longer than the expected if they continue on their routine of practicing my "BalletTao") At my primary school, a colleague was reading a text out loud when he kicked this word: Ballet, which is pronounced with a soundless T. He hesitated and then read: Ballet accentuating the T in the end. It sounded like: Ballet-Chi. Who would guess that one day I would accept this as the correct way to use this word?"
The Dao Workbook Illustrated ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Ballet Class quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
My working-class Italian-American parents didn't go to school, there were no books in the house. ~ Martin Scorsese
Ballet Class quotes by Martin Scorsese
I've never worked with an acting coach, but my parents had acting classes and I grew up around them my whole life just because I didn't have a babysitter. ~ Blake Lively
Ballet Class quotes by Blake Lively
Once you become a professional, to get through a ballet like 'Swan Lake' - four acts as the lead, changing character - the perseverance is incredible. It takes a lot to make it through and keep the same energy throughout the entire performance. ~ Misty Copeland
Ballet Class quotes by Misty Copeland
What is needed is a spirit of boundary dissolution, between individuals, between classes, sexual orientations, rich and poor, man and woman, intellectual and feeling toned types. If this can happen, then we will make a new world. And if this doesn't happen, nature is fairly pitiless and has a place for us in the shale of this planet, where so many have preceded us. ~ Terence McKenna
Ballet Class quotes by Terence McKenna
The screams echoing through Janet's class were hard to bear. She was attempting a lecture on the Treaty of Paris while Mrs. Pachenko walked between the rows of desks insisting upon calm, raising a finger to her lips and whispering to individual students to please sit all the way down in their desks. In the back of the of the room, several kids were cheering as one of them, a young man whose shirt bore a flaming skull, stood hunched atop his desk like a motocross biker, sliding it forward in small hops. Students appear enthusiastic and are communicating well together, I wrote on the evaluation form. ~ Alissa Nutting
Ballet Class quotes by Alissa Nutting
