My Dancing Is Not An Attempt To

I Did Not Choose To Be A Dancer. I Was Chosen.

Stand Up! Keep Your Backs Straight! Remember That This Is Where The Wings Grow.

I Believe That We Learn By Practice... It Is The Performance Of A Dedicated Precise Set Of Acts, Physical Or Intellectual, From Which Come Shape Of Achievement, A Sense Of One's Being, A Satisfaction Of Spirit.

I Have Heard Stories That It Was Love At First Sight For Both Of Us, That We Disappeared To A Guest Room At Merle's House, Had Our Meals Sent Up, And Didn't Emerge For Several Days. This Is Absolutely Untrue. I Would Never Behave Like That As A Guest In Someone's Home. Carlos And I Went To My Beach House.

Wherever A Dancer Stands Is Holy Ground.
