Dancers aren't made of their technique, but their passion.

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

Even though the world as a whole progresses, youth must always start again from the beginning, and as individuals go through the epochs of the world's culture.
