Zitat des Tages von Damian Woetzel:
That's how you live. You participate. You take risks.
In schools giving students a full education, not to create great artists but about the right to have full expression and imagination and creativity, along with an acknowledgement that everybody learns differently. You try and you fail and you try again. All those skills are useful in the workplace, too.
I want to go into science class and awaken that spark that makes learning possible.
I like that feeling of letting loose, of not planning every step. The best performances are the ones that you just let happen.
When I was about 12, I was studying Chinese and ballet with my brother, and one morning Jonathan said to me, 'I don't think I'm going to go to ballet class anymore,' and I looked at him and said, 'You know, I don't think I'm going to go to Chinese class anymore.'
I frequently go to the ballet, but I don't miss it in the sense that I wish I were still dancing.
Dance should mean something to you.
The chance to work on Broadway choreography as opposed to having to deliver Broadway choreography can be two distinct things.
It's all about progression, not getting stuck and about having aspirations, which can lead you to do more and not just be satisfied. I was always that way about my dancing, and that's how I am about whatever it is I tend to pursue.
Where a city is only focused on one aspect, it becomes a city without a soul, not a city people want to live in.
If I see somebody dancing really well, it can make me want to dance. Or it could be the music. But perhaps the thing I miss the most is that when you're dancing, everyday concerns vanish. It's a unique world.
The Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail is unlike any other performance venue in the world, set with mountains and trees as a backdrop.
We say arts education is good for general education, but that's not the point. The arts are what great nations are remembered for. They are a mirror.
My whole life was geared toward being a highly educated person.
I haven't fallen that much, but when I have, it's usually in the attempt to do something worthwhile. As for recovery, you just have to get up!
