Dancing and building are the two primary and essential arts. the art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that expressthemselves first in the human person. the art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite. music, acting, poetry proceed in the one mighty stream; sculpture, painting, all the arts of design, in the other. there is no primary art outside these two arts, for their origin is far earlier than man himself; and dancing came first.

Dancing is a very living art. it is essentially of the moment, although a very old art. a dancer's art is lived while he is dancing. nothing is left of his art except the pictures and the memories--when his dancing days are over.

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.
Thinking Dancing Listening
I was okay with singing. i always sneak a song into everything i do. dancing, a little awkward. little embarrassed about that. i don't move well. but i was with a frog, so it doesn't matter. i'll do anything with a frog, that's my motto. he's great with tap-dancing or flap-dancing on my head. so no one's going to be looking at me when we're doing that dance. they're going to be saying, 'there's a frog dancing'.
Song Moving Dancing
I become the stars and the moon. i become the lover and the beloved. i become the victor and the vanquished. i become the master and the slave. i become the singer and the song. i become the knower and the known. i keep on dancing then, it is the eternal dance or creation. the creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. i keep on dancing and dancing...and dancing. until there is only...the dance.

Similar Quotes
'so you think you can dance' comes on as a high-minded leap up the evolutionary ladder from other reality shows - on this one, you're supposed to learn something, and the guest judges are fellow dance professionals rather than actual celebrities.
Inspirational Dance Reality
All that is important is this one moment in movement. make the moment important, vital, and worth living. do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.

What makes a great dancer is not technique. what makes a great dancer is passion.
Passion Dancer Technique
How many leaps did nijinksy take before he made the one that startled the world? he took thousands and thousands and it is that legend that gives us the courage, the energy, and arrogance to go back into the studio knowing that while there is so little time to be born to the instant, you will work again among the many that you may once more be born as one. that is a dancer's world.
