Dance has been a large part of my life for the past 14 years. It's my passion, creative outlet, and favorite thing to do. I've made lifelong friends through dancing, and some of them helped me pick the following quotes that really capture the essence of dance.
"To dance is to be out of yourself, larger, more beautiful, more powerful." -Agnes De Mille

"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
“Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body." -Martha Graham
“Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music." -George Carlin
“I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to to dance better than myself." -Mikhail Baryshnikov
"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance." -Japanese proverb
"Friends that dance together, stay together." -Anonymous
