My Heroines Are Part Of Me And

Toe Dancing Is A Dandy Attention Getter, Second Only To Screaming.

No White Man Uses His Feet The Way An Indian Does. He Talks To The Earth.

We Can't Stand Silence, Because Silence Induces Thinking. And If We Thought, We Would Have To Face Ourselves.

But Remember That Intent Is Everything. One Does Not Just Jump, One Lifts Into The Air, One Rises. In The Same Way The Lifted Leg Of An Arabesque Becomes A Wing, And Not A Mechanical Leverage Like A Raised Trap Door. This Is The Precise Difference Between Dancing And Acrobatics. The Dancer Tries To Express Something; The Acrobat Merely Pulls, Raises, Stretches And Grinds. The Acrobat Is Lost In A Web Of Muscles The Dancer Is All But Invisible In Projected Idea.

The Practice Mirror Is To Be Used For The Correction Of Faults, Not For A Love Affair, And The Figure You Watch Should Not Become Your Dearest Friend.
