What do I mean by “in many ways”?

Quotes, especially dance quotes bring me back to what is important, not only professionally, but on a deeper level, you might say spiritually. After all, if you’re passionate and fulfilled internally, it shines through, right?

Here are a few refreshing dance quotes to get you started on the right foot today.

  • Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music.  ~William Stafford
  • Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.  Just get up and dance.  ~Dave Barry
  • Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!  ~Constanze
  • The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music.  Bodies never lie.  ~Agnes de Mille

One of my favorite quotes is the last one, the one by Agnes de Mille. I truly believe you can tell a lot about a person and a culture by the way people move to music, the way they dance.
