I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.

I haven't had a family, but I don't think of that as a sacrifice: my dancers are my family.

We were tap-dancers but we put more style into it, more bodywork, instead of just footwork.

What's a dancer's worst enemy? Sometimes it's age, but sometimes it's the dancer themselves.

There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown, love to watch her do her stuff.

Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.

I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.

My only drive was to be the best dancer in the world, but I never won the world championship.

Making the ballet really taught me how to get things moving. Ballet dancers don't stand still.

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

I closed my eyes to watch tiny dancers like jeweled birds cross the dark screen of my eyelids.

My choreography suits men very well, and the women who can do it are damn hard, strong dancers.

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

We are a very typical Spanish family - a bullfighter, an actress, a flamenco dancer and singer!

I never wanted to be a dancer. It's true! I wanted to be a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In France, ballet is on TV ... It's on the eight-o'clock news. It's a cool thing to be a dancer.

I'm not an egomaniac like a lot of people say. But I am the world's best dancer, that's for sure.

I liked museums but I wanted to be a dancer, I wanted to go into performing arts, or be a writer.

Fred Astaire was a more formal, trained dancer who loved waltzing and only danced with the girls.

Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.

Dancing is not one of my talents. But when you've had a few drinks anyone is a good dancer, right?

I was a dancer and didn't ever think I could become a female wrestler, but here I am and doing it.

I'd rather be a guy that can build a house or fix a car than be able to walk like a ballet dancer.

As a dancer I've always checked my body constantly; 'Am I having a good day or am I having a fat day?'

I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

One of our problems is our sense of discipline - dancers have an extraordinary sense of self-discipline.

I will push myself in different ventures that I believe will make me a better artist, dancer and person.

I'm not gonna change my way of dance because I lost and the judge tells me I should do it a certain way.

My curves became an integral part of who I am as a dancer, not something I needed to lose to become one.

A lot of people don't know the first time I was ever on national television I was a 'Soul Train' dancer.
