Every dancer knows that being technically perfect isn't good enough. We need to know why we dance. For me, it's to be connected. I'm inspired by my friends. ~ Sammy Lieberman
Ballet Dance quotes by Sammy Lieberman
A major assumption that underlies this selection is that it is only within work that is progressive, experimental or avant-garde that staid, old-fashioned images and ideas about gender can be challenged and alternatives imagined. I have never seen a ballet performance that has not disappointed me. ~ Ramsay Burt
Ballet Dance quotes by Ramsay Burt
Simplicity itself is the key. Education in ballet, dance, martial arts, etc., is done through poses, or to be more precise, through a countless series of poses. Perfection of movement is achieved through the flow of perfectly rehearsed poses. ~ Nicholas Romanov
Ballet Dance quotes by Nicholas Romanov
I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels! ~ Ginger Rogers
Ballet Dance quotes by Ginger Rogers
Dance is like life. It exists as you are flitting through it, and when it's over, it's done. ~ Jerome Robbins
Ballet Dance quotes by Jerome Robbins
I made the sympathetic face, and the interested face, and even the impressed face. I did not say, 'In the name of all that is holy, cease this incessant drivel, you pretentious ass. ~ Meg Howrey
Ballet Dance quotes by Meg Howrey
I think most dancers would agree that the art of ballet chooses the dancer, not the other way around. ~ Kevin McKenzie
Ballet Dance quotes by Kevin McKenzie
You consider me for a moment, perhaps balancing the weight of your fear against the loneliness you will later feel in your room if you do not speak now ~ Guy Mankowski
Ballet Dance quotes by Guy Mankowski
The discipline that ballet requires is obsessive. And only the ones who dedicate their whole lives are able to make it. Your toenails fall off and you peel them away and then you're asked to dance again and keep smiling. I wanted to become a professional ballet dancer. ~ Penelope Cruz
Ballet Dance quotes by Penelope Cruz
I feel his arm
Lightly
Over me.
He takes one of my outstretched hands.
Draws it beneath my stomach.
"One more time ... "
This is not sex,
Not friendship.
Something
Strange
Special
In the stillness of his breath,
The waterlike way he moves.
He is making a dance.
We are making a dance. ~ Stasia Ward Kehoe
Ballet Dance quotes by Stasia Ward Kehoe
During this same period of his life Bohm also continued to refine his alternative approach to quantum physics. As he looked more carefully into the meaning of the quantum potential he discovered it had a number of features that implied an even more radical departure from orthodox thinking. One was the importance of wholeness. Classical science had always viewed the state of a system as a whole as merely the result of the interaction of its parts. However, the quantum potential stood this view on its ear and indicated that the behavior of the parts was actually organized by the whole. This not only took Bohr's assertion that subatomic particles are not independent "things, " but are part of an indivisible system one step further, but even suggested that wholeness was in some ways the more primary reality. It also explained how electrons in plasmas (and other specialized states such as superconductivity) could behave like interconnected wholes. As Bohm states, such "electrons are not scattered because, through the action of the quantum potential, the whole system is undergoing a co-ordinated movement more like a ballet dance than like a crowd of unorganized people. " Once again he notes that "such quantum wholeness of activity is closer to the organized unity of functioning of the parts of a living being than it is to the kind of unity that is obtained by putting together the parts of a machine. "6 An even more surprising feature of the quantum potential was its implications fo ~ Michael Talbot
Ballet Dance quotes by Michael Talbot
Real men don't lift weights, they lift women. ~ Every Male Ballet Dancer
Ballet Dance quotes by Every Male Ballet Dancer
I've studied dance since I was very young, and I continue to study ballet. ~ Sarah Gadon
Ballet Dance quotes by Sarah Gadon
Ballet is only good when it is great. ~ Arlene Croce
Ballet Dance quotes by Arlene Croce
But it's this one boy, hanging over a barre, sharing his history, who ended up here with me, in this moment, by pure fate. I wonder what it would be like to kiss him. ~ Jessica Calla
Ballet Dance quotes by Jessica Calla
There are those who dance the notes, and those who dance the music. ~ Eva Ibbotson
Ballet Dance quotes by Eva Ibbotson
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 Dance quotes by Marcia Siegel
Always tell the absolute truth ...no matter how unbelievable! ~ Michael K Dane
Ballet Dance quotes by Michael K Dane
It [ballet] projects a fragile kind of strength and a certain inflexible precision. ~ Ayn Rand
Ballet Dance quotes by Ayn Rand
You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.
~ Merce Cunningham
Ballet Dance quotes by Merce Cunningham
'Swan Lake' is the most difficult thing to portray for a female ballet dancer; it really requires such specific qualities of articulation, agility, strength, and the arm work is something that takes a lot of training. ~ Benjamin Millepied
Ballet Dance quotes by Benjamin Millepied
He leaned in close, his mouth near her ear. "Dance with me. ~ Donna Grant
Ballet Dance quotes by Donna Grant
If you dance daily, you shall expel any seed of distress in thy soul. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Ballet Dance quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
But from the time I was very little, it was something I would do all the time, just sing, dance and act. So it wasn't something that was fake or contrived as I got older. ~ Jennifer Lopez
Ballet Dance quotes by Jennifer Lopez
Drop Pants, Not Bombs. Break Dance, Not Hearts. Draft Beer, Not People. Make LOVE, Not WAR. ~ Ashley Purdy
Ballet Dance quotes by Ashley Purdy
Elena: I guess a dying woman can be stupid if she wants. I'm crazy about you, Archangel. You scare the shit out of me at times, but I want to dance with you anyway. ~ Nalini Singh
Ballet Dance quotes by Nalini Singh
Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers
a living prismatic gem that changes its colour with every change of position. ~ William Henry Hudson
Ballet Dance quotes by William Henry Hudson
Yet the companions of the Muses
will keep their collective nose in my books
And weary with historical data, they will turn to my dance tune. ~ Ezra Pound
Ballet Dance quotes by Ezra Pound
String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars; from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation. ~ Brian Greene
Ballet Dance quotes by Brian Greene
Ballet is quite unnatural on the joints. My body is just worn. My joints are 10 years older than me. ~ Darcey Bussell
Ballet Dance quotes by Darcey Bussell
So yes, I knew how to dance. I just wasn't able to look at the person I was dancing with. A sort of glass cage fell over me, in the form of a distant, distracted smile. ~ Katie Crouch
Ballet Dance quotes by Katie Crouch
On a cloudy day, when the dim dance of the firelight and the warmth of the sconces are not enough, the books shed their own form of light. By the hundreds, they fill the shelves that stretch across every inch of exposed wall. They rise up to the ceiling, warriors of an impenetrable army, encircling my over-sized armchair and keeping me safe as they whisper their stories softly in my ear. ~ Kelseyleigh Reber
Ballet Dance quotes by Kelseyleigh Reber
I saw our daughter dance at her wedding. Her smile was like a light and it was reflected in everyone's faces, and I recognized that light.

Because it was ours.

We did that.

We loved each other so well that it spread out into the universe and it created a new star.

-Hugh Crain - The Haunting of Hill House ~ Mike Flanagan
Ballet Dance quotes by Mike Flanagan
You might look like a princess, Isabelle Reagan, but if I had my way tonight, you'd also be a queen. ~ Melyssa Winchester
Ballet Dance quotes by Melyssa Winchester
I tell them dance begins when a moment of hurt combines with a moment of boredom. I tell them it's the body's reaching, bringing air to itself. I tell them that it's the heart's triumph, the victory speech of the feet, the refinement of animal lunge and flight, the purest metaphor of tribe and self. It's life flipping death the bird. I make this stuff up. ~ Lorrie Moore
Ballet Dance quotes by Lorrie Moore
And so, like a courtesan, forced to perform the dance of the seven veils, I grudgingly reveal the names, one by one, of the cities that have carved their names into me, leaving behind the scar tissue that forms the bulk of who I am. ~ Monique Truong
Ballet Dance quotes by Monique Truong
Dark, shadowy figures moved closer, circling.
Torel pulled his two seyani longswords free of their scabbards. "Come, then!" He shouted. "Come dance with the tairen, if you dare! Miora felah ti' Feyreisa! Joy to the Feyreisa! And death to you all!"
And he became a whirling blur of motion - black leather, shining steel, red blood - spinning in the moonlight, delivering death to all he touched until he moved no more. ~ C.L. Wilson
Ballet Dance quotes by C.L. Wilson
It was usual to be obedient to authority, to obey a legal letter. But Rachaela left her bills
unpaid until the threats began. She ignored the money-envelopes stuck through the door for starving
children and the sick. ~ Tanith Lee
Ballet Dance quotes by Tanith Lee
Language was all that I could do, but it never, I felt, came close to a dance or a song or a gliding through water. Language could serve as a weapon, a shield and a disguise, it had many strengths. It could bully, cajole, deceive, wheedle and intimidate. Sometimes it could even delight, amuse, charm, seduce and endear, but always as a solo turn, never a dance. ~ Stephen Fry
Ballet Dance quotes by Stephen Fry
My parents liked to go dancing, and they encouraged all of us to bring our friends home. My brother had a skiffle group, and there would often be dancing in the house. And my parents would come and dance with us. ~ Diana Quick
Ballet Dance quotes by Diana Quick
I'm going to a dance."
With Becky?"
No, with Alexander."
Who's Alexander?"
The love of my life! ~ Ellen Schreiber
Ballet Dance quotes by Ellen Schreiber
Never too tired to DANCE... It's my PASSION. It's my LIFE. ~ Stephanie Lahart
Ballet Dance quotes by Stephanie Lahart
Hope is the dance of the spirit.
Mind is the stage and imagination is the music. ~ Debasish Mridha
Ballet Dance quotes by Debasish Mridha
Amelia was jumping up and down, panting and waving her hands in the air as if she were fanning a fire in her mouth ...
When Amelia finally leaned against the Jeep and sighed, Rick let out a little chuckle. I didn't know you could dance so well, sweetie. You'll have to teach me that step. What do you call it? The Habanero Shuffle? ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Ballet Dance quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
The chances of a child coming through as I did ... the world is too hard. On the other hand, I would always encourage children of mine if they wanted to be in school plays and dance and sing. But I wouldn't put them to work. ~ Shelley Fabares
Ballet Dance quotes by Shelley Fabares
And some people sing and dance. ~ Roger Miller
Ballet Dance quotes by Roger Miller
Falling from the sky like the rain,
And I fly and sing like the little birds...,
Movements that are not in vain,
Everything has a life made of words. ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Ballet Dance quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
Elemental music is never just music. It's bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener but as a co-performer. ~ Carl Orff
Ballet Dance quotes by Carl Orff
Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage. If you can tell young people how you kill an emu, acted out in song or dance, or that Uncle George was eaten by a croc over there, don't go there to swim, then those young people don't have to find out by trial and error. ~ Margaret Atwood
Ballet Dance quotes by Margaret Atwood
With determination, it is possible to block out the negative things and enjoy the positive ones, despite the cons. Most importantly, it is possible to dance through everything pernicious. ~ Sarah Todd Hammer
Ballet Dance quotes by Sarah Todd Hammer
A speech is poetry: cadence, rhythm, imagery, sweep! A speech reminds us that words, like children, have the power to make dance the dullest beanbag of a heart. ~ Peggy Noonan
Ballet Dance quotes by Peggy Noonan
People are complicated. There is so much more to everybody than you realize. You see someone in school everyday, or at work, in the canteen, and you share a cigarette of a coffee with them, and you talk about the weather or last night's air raid. But you don't talk so much about what was the nastiest thing you ever said to your mother, or how you pretended to be David Balfour, the hero of Kidnapped, for the whole of the year when you were 13, or what you imagine yourself doing with the pilot who looks like Leslie Howard if you were alone in his bunk after a dance. ~ Elizabeth Wein
Ballet Dance quotes by Elizabeth Wein
Being alive is about playing to win. Being brain dead is when you play not to loose. ~ Richard Saunders
Ballet Dance quotes by Richard Saunders
A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time. ~ Anne Taylor Fleming
Ballet Dance quotes by Anne Taylor Fleming
Our life's dance is not painted for us in footsteps on the floor. It's not laid out so we know where to place our next step. We simply had to judge which steps best fit the rhythms that we hear."
~ Paul Marshall
Ballet Dance quotes by Paul Marshall
To a man, sex is the ultimate expression of love. It is pure pleasure. But to a woman there exists something greater than pleasure―gestures of adoration. A gentle caress on the cheek, an attentive smile, a soft kiss while swept away in a slow dance, the whispered words 'You're beautiful'―these are the tokens of love that women cherish. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Ballet Dance quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Oh, blast, this is all so confusing!" she complained. "How is a woman supposed to figure out what a man really wants?"
"If you learn the answer to that question, do be a dear and tell the rest of us," Minerva quipped. "Though as far as I can tell, men are simple creatures, for all their posturing. They want food, drink, and a wench to bed, not necessarily in that order."
"And love?" Celia asked.
Minerva smiled. "That, too. Some men do, anyway. You'll just have to spend some time with Mr. Pinter and find out if that's what he wants from you."
"And how on earth am I supposed to spend time with him when he's been avoiding me ever since the last time we kissed?"
"Perhaps he's worried about the difference in your stations."
"That didn't keep him from kissing me." She scowled. "Besides, you've heard what he says about our sort. If anything, he thinks himself above us, not below us. He didn't even ask me to dance tonight! He could have. No one would have thought anything of that. Instead, he spent the entire ball standing about, looking disappointed, and talking to servants."
"Perhaps because you spent the entire ball in the company of your suitors."
Celia released an exasperated breath. "What else was I supposed to do? I'm not allowed to ask a man to dance. And at least I know what my suitors want. Lord Devonmont wants to seduce me, the viscount wants peace in his old age, and the duke wants to marry me. I don't have any idea what Jackson wan ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Ballet Dance quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place! ~ Martina Navratilova
Ballet Dance quotes by Martina Navratilova
I won't marry you," she repeated.
"Why not? You were eager enough to fuck me."
Anna winced. "I do wish you would stop using that word."
Edward swung around and assumed a hideously sarcastic expression. "Would you prefer swive? Tup? Dance the buttock jig? ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
