I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing.

Find fitness with fun dancing. It is fun and makes you forget about the dreaded exercise.

That the work involved the willingness to take chances the commitment the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy was more important than becoming famous or even what I was dancing.

When I was 12 years old someone took me to see Martha Graham. It was nothing like what I thought of as serious dancing and even then I knew I was having a great experience. It was as if somebody was moving through space like no one ever did before.

My father made sure that I had lots of levels of education - from ballroom-dancing to painting commando training theatre and magic.

You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans with songs laughter dancing and a lot of wine.

What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then senior year someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her but it worked out fine.

My dad passed away before my freshman year and it altered how I thought. I was depressed - I didn't hang out with my friends. I worked through it by dancing.
