I Believe One Thing: That Today Is

We Look At The Dance To Impart The Sensation Of Living In An Affirmation Of Life, To Energize The Spectator Into Keener Awareness Of The Vigor, The Mystery, The Humor, The Variety, And The Wonder Of Life. This Is The Function Of The American Dance.

I Get Up, I Fall Down, All The While I Am Dancing.

There Is A Vitality, A Life Force, An Energy, A Quickening That Is Translated Through You Into Action, And Because There Is Only One Of You In All Of Time, This Expression Is Unique.

The Next Time You Look Into The Mirror, Just Look At The Way The Ears Rest Next To The Head; Look At The Way The Hairline Grows; Think Of All The Little Bones In Your Wrist. It Is A Miracle. And The Dance Is A Celebration Of That Miracle.

You Give All Your Life To Doing This One Thing. It Sounds Grim, It Sounds Frightening - It Isn't - It Has A Great Gaiety At Times And A Great Wonder.
