Notable quotes

“I have no desire to prove anything by it. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance.”
— Fred Astaire, Steps in Time (1959), p. 325.
“As to dancing, my dear, I never dance, unless I am allowed to do it in my own peculiar way. There is no use trying to describe it: it has to be seen to be believed. [...] Did you ever see the Rhinoceros, and the Hippopotamus, at the Zoological Gardens, trying to dance a minuet together? It is a touching sight.”
— Lewis Carroll, letter to Gaynor Simpson (27 December 1873), in A Selection from the Letters of Lewis Carroll to his Child-Friends, ed. Evelyn M. Hatch, (London: MacMillan, 1933).
“We look at the dance to impart the sensation of living in an affirmation of life, to energize the spectator into keener awareness of the vigor, the mystery, the humor, the variety, and the wonder of life. This is the function of the American dance.”
— Martha Graham, "The American Dance", in Modern Dance, ed. Virginia Stewart (1935).
“Ich würde nur an einen Gott glauben, der zu tanzen verstünde.”
— I would only believe in a God that knows how to dance.
“I always thought dancing improper; but it can't be since I myself am dancing.”
— The Red Cow in P. L. Travers' Mary Poppins, Ch. 5 "The Dancing Cow" (1934)
“People dance because dance can change things. One move can bring people together. One move can set a whole generation free. One move can make you believe like you're something more. … Dance can give hope.”
— Who: Moose (Adam Sevani)
