To Awaken Human Emotion Is The Highest

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.

To Dance Is To Live. What I Want Is A School Of Life.

The Only Dance Masters I Could Have Were Jean-jacques Rousseau, Walt Whitman And Nietzsche.

To Awaken Human Emotion Is The Highest Level Of Art.
