I Get Up, I Fall Down, All

There Is A Vitality, A Life Force, An Energy, A Quickening, That Is Translated Through You Into Action, And Because There Is Only One Of You In All Time, This Expression Is Unique.

I Believe That We Learn By Practice. Whether It Means To Learn To Dance By Practicing Dancing Or To Learn To Live By Practicing Living, The Principles Are The Same. In Each, It Is The Performance Of A Dedicated Precise Set Of Acts, Physical Or Intellectual, From Which Comes Shape Of Achievement, A Sense Of One's Being, A Satisfaction Of Spirit. One Becomes, In Some Area, An Athlete Of God. Practice Means To Perform, Over And Over Again In The Face Of All Obstacles, Some Act Of Vision, Of Faith, Of Desire. Practice Is A Means Of Inviting The Perfection Desired.

It Is Not Your Business To Determine How Good It Is, Nor How Valuable It Is, Nor How It Compares With Other Expressions. It Is Your Business To Keep It Yours Clearly And Directly, To Keep The Channel Open.

Modern Dance Isn't Anything Except One Thing In My Mind: The Freedom Of Women In America.

Dancers Are The Messengers Of The Gods.
