People Don't Live Nowadays: They Get About

Before I Was Born My Mother Was In Great Agony Of Spirit And In A Tragic Situation. She Could Take No Food Except Iced Oysters And Champagne. If People Ask Me When I Began To Dance, I Reply 'in My Mother's Womb, Probably As A Result Of The Oysters And Champagne.'

There Are Likewise Three Kinds Of Dancers: First, Those Who Consider Dancing As A Sort Of Gymnastic Drill, Made Up Of Impersonal And Graceful Arabesques; Second, Those Who, By Concentrating Their Minds, Lead The Body Into The Rhythm Of A Desired Emotion, Expressing A Remembered Feeling Or Experience. And Finally, There Are Those Who Convert The Body Into A Luminous Fluidity, Surrendering It To The Inspiration Of The Soul.

To Express What Is The Most Moral, Healthful And Beautiful In Art This Is The Mission Of The Dancer, And To This I Dedicate My Life.

My Motto - Sans Limites.

Master Technique, So That Technique Never Prevents You From Dancing.
