MEMORABLE QUOTES
“Dancing and ballets would undoubtedly take on a new lease on life, if the customs established by a spirit of fear and jealousy did not in some way close the path of glory.” — Jean-Georges Noverre (1727 – 1810)
“The dancer gradually introduces all that his art comprises.” — Carlos Blasis (1797 – 1878)
“The beauty to which the Dance ought to aspire is not dependent upon taste or pleasure, but is founded on the immutable laws of Nature.” — August Bournonville (1805 – 1879)
“… true art is that which conceals the labor that produced it.” — Enrico Cecchetti (1850 – 1928)
“Life is Movement.” — Eugen Sandow (1867 – 1925)
“Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual.” — Isadora Duncan (1877 – 1927)
“Look at life all around; everything is growing, everything is moving forward.” — Agrippina Vaganova (1879 – 1951)
