“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others” 
― Martha Graham

“We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.” 

― Friedrich Nietzsche

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” 

― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.”

― Rumi

The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie. ~ Agnes de Mille ~
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance? ~ William Butler Yeats ~
The curve is more dangerous than the sword. ~ Mae West ~When I dance, I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole, that is why I dance. ~ Hans Bos ~ 

To dance is to be out of yourself, larger, more powerful, more beautiful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking. ~ Agnes de Mille ~ 
The dance is over, the applause subsided but the joy and feeling will stay with you forever.~ W. M. Tory ~

Love, Light, and Happy Shimmies
