"I have performed for thousands when they found me exotic, the vogue, daring. But I have danced at any given time, for about ten people...they
were the ones that left the theatre forever different from the way they were when they came in. All of my long, long life, I have
danced for those ten." - Ruth St. Denis
"Learning to walk sets you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express your whole self: the person you
are." - Melissa Hayden
