Agnes de Mille Quotes

As an adult, I took ballet classes three times a week, and I believed it gave me better posture, a stronger body, and made me more graceful.

Anybody cannot be a dancer. A dancer must have a certain posture, gestures, height, behaviour.

But you do have to start young as a dancer if you're going to achieve the physical skills necessary.

I took several years of dance lessons that included ballet, tap and jazz. They helped a great deal with body control, balance, a sense of rhythm, and timing.

I began dancing when I was 7 years old. I was told that I had the perfect ballet dancer's body and had these crazy high arches in my feet that resulted in an amazing point. Ballet was very disciplined and, frankly, a little boring, so I eventually transitioned to gymnastics. I loved that, although I never reached a competitive level.

I have been blessed with strong leg muscles, and dancing really exercises one's legs.

Even though I'm a gymnast, I've always loved dancing.

I honestly find it easier to dance about in heels than I do to walk down the street in them.

Ballet teaches you how to hold yourself.

Dancing came easy to me.

The ideal gymnast would be between 4 feet 7 and 5-2. I wouldn't be able to pinpoint an ideal height, however. It would be foolish to say that a gymnast above 5-2 could not be great.

I'm a fantastic dancer!

There is this idea of a perfect dance body - which I don't have. I'm lucky that I'm not the exact opposite of the ideal, but I don't have amazing feet, perfect hyperextension, or really flexible legs.

I don't know how to dance, and I don't have any extra flexible skills.

Ditya Bhande is a nice dancer.

I'm not a very good dancer. My feet don't point far enough; my extension is embarrassing. Dance, for me, has been hard because it's a strive for perfection.

I find it very hard to dance. I have 2 left feet.

Dancing is all about your core.

If I didn't have quads and hamstrings, soccer would be a lot different for me than it is now. I would be pushed all over the field. My lower body is something that has made me the player I am today, and it makes me feel strong.

Figure skating, especially the longer performances, are such a feat. It requires so much stamina and is so beautiful.

Dancing is different than gymnastics, but it's a good different, and it's something that I've always wanted to try.

Exactly the same with dancing, you can't dance until you've learnt steps, the things your feet can do.

Dancing came easy for me. Acting came hard.

I'm pretty athletic, but I'm not very strong.

People think skating would translate very easily to dancing, but it really doesn't. Dancing is a lot of fun and not as dangerous as being on the ice.
