Dance Quotations

Dancing alone, forgetting you the dancer being the dance itself, is the greatest meditation. This has been said by many spiritual personalities and I also agree. Be alone and let yourself go, sing, dance, laugh, joke, cry, make faces, kiss the earth , and kick the pillow. Try to understand the spirit. Try dance as Yoga. Not only thoughtless sitting alone, but being actorless in action, seerless in seeing , thinkerless in thinking, experiencerless in experiencing has liberating efficacy.

- Sadguru Remaji (http://www.masquism.com/AboutRemaji.html)

To teach dance is to instil courage and self-confidence to the learner.

Dancing is seen as an art in which the artist and the art created are one and the same, the thought to evoke the oneness of God and creation.

There will be no wisdom, no learning, no art, nor craft, no device, nor action that is not found within natya. (Natya – meaning ‘dance' in Sanskrit language) - Sage Bharatha, Natya Shastra

All display of talents do not become an object of art; the talent that touches the hearts of onlookers and listeners only can be called an art, be it music, painting, sculpture or dance. - Guru VP Dhananjayan

Dancing appears glamorous, easy, delightful. But the path to paradise of the achievement is not easier than any other. There is fatigue so great that the body cries, even in its sleep. There are times of complete frustration, there are daily small deaths. - Martha Graham

Dance is the hidden language of the soul. - Martha Graham

Dance is a spiritual journey through movements and expressions.
