Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
‐‐ Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dancers carry themselves in completely different ways to how we do in our everyday lives. They are very free with their bodies which I'm not used too.
‐‐ Kristin Cavallari
Dancers have always been a kind of background image, we've always danced behind an artist or we've danced in a movie behind the actors. We've always been very secondary.
‐‐ Lacey Schwimmer
Dancers, like all performing artists, like nothing better than to be challenged.
‐‐ Karen Kain
Dancers, many dancers today can do so much technically. You can give them steps that are complicated, then more complicated, pyrotechnical - and they can execute these steps to perfection. But to do simple steps with a pure classical line, that is truly difficult.
‐‐ Natalia Makarova
Dancers use their bodies in extraordinary ways, so we are chronically pre-arthritic, because of how we use our muscles and our bones.
‐‐ Judith Jamison
Dancers work and they work and they work, and they master their skills so far that improvisation just comes flowing out of them. Their natural expression of the best they can possibly be comes out of them because there is no boundary to hold them back... That's the mentality that I'm trying to create, recreate and hold on to forever.

‐‐ Mikhail Baryshnikov
Dancing allows me to go away and not have to think of what I'm doing next.

Dancing came easy to me.
‐‐ Hedda Hopper
Dancing for the length of time that I did, it centered me in such a way to be really in tune with my body, and I just feel like I'm physically able to do things because of my ballet background. Without ballet, I don't think I'd look graceful at all on screen.
‐‐ Zoe Saldana
Dancing gives an innate physical awareness - it's physical training. Acting feels like the same medium but just with words.
‐‐ Elizabeth Debicki
Dancing has been in us, in people, since the Neanderthal age. There's something about moving, something about interpreting yourself to the music, that's attractive, that's interesting, that's intriguing, and everyone wishes they could do that.
‐‐ Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Dancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it's fun. While it's happening it's fun. I feel tall.
‐‐ Ariana Grande
Dancing in speakeasies was a job, and none of us knew for sure who were gangsters. No one told us, so how could we know? My mother used to come and take me home. We thought nothing of walking home together at two in the morning.

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.
‐‐ Christopher Morley
Dancing is bigger than the physical body. Think bigger than that. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that. You're dancing spirit.
‐‐ Judith Jamison
Dancing is just like racing. You don't learn choreography. They just give you steps to do, and you do them over and over and over. It's very much like what I do in racing.
‐‐ Helio Castroneves
Dancing is kind of my thing.
‐‐ David Gallagher
Dancing is kind of my thing. I go out with my friends as often as I can on the weekends, and I'm always drawn to girls with rhythm.

Dancing is like - it's another way of communicating, no?
‐‐ Mauricio Macri
Dancing is like riding a bike.

Dancing is my number one love. That was my first goal as a child. I would love to do stage, maybe do Chicago. I love being in front of an audience. It's so stimulating. I also love to barbecue.
‐‐ Carmen Electra

Dancing is part of me now! The Latin dances are where my passions are.
‐‐ Jake Pavelka
Dancing is something I do. Not something I just want to do. It's something I just do, depending on how I'm feeling. I don't see myself taking that as just a job.
‐‐ Adam G. Sevani
Dancing is the last sport with no sponsor.

Dancing - that's really what I do at parties. I dance and I hang out with friends. That's my partying.
‐‐ Rebecca Black
Dancing was always part of my culture growing up in Barbados. When I shot my 1st video I worked really hard with my choreographer to perfect the routines.
‐‐ Rihanna
Dancing was my sport when I was younger. So I chose that over everything. And then, I just had to keep going because it became a competitive thing. But I'm not trying to impress anyone anymore. Dancing is more like my art, now.
