Dancers are the messengers of the gods.
Each time a dancer moves devoutly or a composer faithfully searches the silence for the veiled melodies, eternity is engaged.
The Dance of the Future will have to become again a high religious art as it was with the Greeks. For art which is not religious is not art, it is mere merchandise
My father was not just a man, but a spirit dancer. You have to come with that vibration, and it is not something you can act.
The Gods have meant That I should dance And in some mystic hour I shall move to unheard rhythms Of the cosmic orchestra of heaven And you will know the language Of my wordless poems And will come to me For that is why I dance.
Indian classical dance is sustained by a profound philosophy. Form seeks to merge with the formless, motions seek to become a part of the motionless, and the dancing individual seeks to become one with the eternal dance of the cosmos.
I raise my pelvis to God so that it may know the truth of how flowers smash through the long winter.
Mastery is the rudder, Mystery is the sail and Magic the wind to move you in your chosen direction.
Dancing is not a form of expression for the Christian liturgy.
I am seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit through the medium of the body's movement.
