me jete
I can’t not dance
I hope you dance
If you’ve got it,
flaunt it! Dance!

the pointe?

a dancer

what’s it tutu you?

to live is to dance!
All the world is a
stage…so dance on it
Anyone who thinks

beautiful at the same
time
Flexible people never
get bent out of shape
Fly with the angels
dance with the stars
Great dancers are not
great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
I don’t WANT to dance,
I HAVE to dance
I would rather dance
as a ballerina, though faultily, than as a flawless clown.
If all the world is a
stage, I want better lighting
If dance were easy,
they’d call it figure skating (football, baseball, etc.)
If I can’t dance in
heaven, let me live here forever
If I have to explain
dancing to you, you won’t get it!
It is hard to be
humble when you are a dancer
Life may not be the
party we’d hoped for, but while we are here we should dance
The body may learn the
steps, but only the spirit can dance.
The dance is a poem of
which movement is a word. –Mata Hari
There are so many
parts to happiness and dancing (singing) is one
Those who wish to
sing, always find a song (dance)
To dance or not to
dance…that is the question
Watch me dance, Watch
me twirl, there is a dancer in every girl
Work like you don’t
need the money, love like you’ve never been hurt, Dance like nobody’s watching –
Mark Twain
You can only perform
as well as you do in practice
You don’t grow old and
stop dancing; you stop dancing and grow old
You’ve never seen a
real workout until you’ve seen a dance practice.
You wouldn’t
understand, it’s a dance thing
