Dancing insists we take up space, and though it has no set direction, we go there together. Dance is dangerous, joyous, sexual, holy, disruptive, and contagious and it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, at anytime, with anyone and everyone, and it's free. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further and that is why it's at the center of ONE BILLION RISING.
Dance is about movement and can be an art, but it's also about communication - with yourself, as much as with other people.
You stand for nothing. You respect nobody. The music you dance to is devoid of beauty, its lyrics empty of humor or cleverness.
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Surfers are the ‘throw-aheads’ of mankind, not the dregs; they aren’t the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of ‘be here now’, and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man.
A person can be danced. In all continents the dancers carry little children on their shoulders.
Don't be afraid to be amazing.
As long as you're dancing, you can break the rules.
I tend to gravitate away from the more trendy Ibiza style of dance music. It's not me.
Most people went to dance shows, but it was basically a table and a DJ playing and not really a spectacular thing. I brought the whole production with the effects - the best sound, the best lighting to blow the fans away.
You want to dance. You want to sing. Yeah, that feeling, of course, is beyond recollection really.
I do not think you can get rid of the fear. . . but you can dance with it.
Practice means cutting down chance and risk.
I think the most significant moment at a wedding is when you say "I do" and when you do the first dance.
My favorite way to dance is being swept off my feet by somebody who doesn't know how to dance.
If I couldn't be a good example, I'd just have to be a horrible warning.
The Lord doesn't like us to be dead. Be alive. Sometimes I dance to the glory of the Lord, because He said so.
There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.
The teacher doesn't teach, not really. The teacher offers stimulation and ways in which the person can educate himself or herself. At best the teacher wakes up that person and makes a person hungry.
My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.
