Dance Quote

Dance is the hidden language of the soul 

I like this quote because it is very meaningful.

Dance is universal to all humans; everyone, through our shared corporeality, has the ability to dance and therefore everyone can experience and appreciate dance. This universality makes dance a very powerful tool of expression. Dance as an art form has the ability (and perhaps the responsibility) to reveal and to reflect on the world in which it lives. Therefore, I believe that a dancer should not only be concerned with dancing, but also with being a citizen in society and a human being in the world. A dancer must look outside of dance to contribute the most to the dance.

In a similar way, I believe that all those who toil for the sake of dance should work together more fervently, so that dance can continue to grow as a means of expression. The dancer and choreographer who make the art should not be disconnected from the dance academic who analyzes the art, or from the dance advocate who fights for the art, or the dance administrator that supports the art from behind the scenes. All sectors of the dance world should be closely tied through continuous discourse, thereby learning from each other and working together as allies to move dance forward.
