Ballet dancer quotes
" All the children in the school should learn the steps of everything, before they learn the thing, then they know which step they're doing better, because your voice is in certain steps and has to do most of the things that have been composed in those steps. "

Ninette De Valois
" Also, if you have an accident, you can't start to dance again at the top, you're too weak; you start with the easy things - the way you did them when you were young, and come up up up, the way you did then. "

Ninette De Valois
" And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance. "

Ninette De Valois
" As time goes on, all schools only get left alive if they have found something special themselves. "

Ninette De Valois
" Cecchetti barre work is, I think, too small - the other schools are better. But he had a wonderful theory of movement space, and that every school should eventually know. "

Ninette De Valois
" Classical ballet will never die. "

Ninette De Valois
" Demi-character, that is to say dance on their toes quite well, dance on the flat of their feet quite well, they do everything quite well. "

Ninette De Valois
" Diaghilev was the first to notice good character dancers and that sort of thing. "

Ninette De Valois
" Exactly the same with dancing, you can't dance until you've learnt steps, the things your feet can do. "

Ninette De Valois
" First of all, the most important, that is to learn everything good that has survived from other times, and carefully to watch the bad - and throw it out. "

Ninette De Valois
" God gave us all exactly the same fingers, arms, legs, and feet, but in our different countries we divided them all a little differently as we feel it, do you understand? "

Ninette De Valois
" Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits. "

Ninette De Valois
" It's either not good enough and dies altogether, or it develops. "

Ninette De Valois
" It's like the voice. We don't force a voice which we decide is lower than a lot of others, we teach it to sing in what we call their key, don't we? "

Ninette De Valois
" Nearly everything in life goes in threes and fours. "
