"The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art." ~Doris Humphrey, 1937
"The people who do not dance are the dead." ~Jerry Rose of Dance Caravan

Viimane oli küll veidi radikaalne, aga noh... I like it. Iseloomustab ehk seda, mida ma viimasel ajal sõna otseses mõttes tundnud olen. Näiteks täna. Kaks tundi proovi, ja iga sekundit sellest ma lihtsalt nautisin!
See on lihtsalt... nagu teine maailm. Ma ütleksin, et kõik siin väljaotsitud tsitaadid käivad selle maailma kohta, mida ma ei oska sõnades edasi anda.
Eelmine seltskonnatantsu õpetaja ütles midagi sarnast, et aasta-kahe jooksul sa märkad suurt erinevust tantsu õppimisel, hiljem läheb kõik sujuvamaks. Täna oli mul tunne, et mingi "klikk" käis läbi, - olles selle tantsuga nüüd varsti vist 'juba' peaaegu pool aastat tegelenud, kõik muutus veelgi... selgemaks. Aga võib-olla mulle ainult tundus nii.
Karin õpetas ühe liigutuse selgeks, millele ma alguses pihta ei saanud. See on tõesti... discovery, discovery, discovery... lõputu iseenda avastamine. Ja... jah, selleks pole lihtsalt sõnu.
Kuid see on miski, mille olen enda jaoks avastanud ja mida naudin ehk rohkem kui midagi muud... - see on lihtsalt midagi fantastilist!
Lõpetuseks üks laul - ühelt mu viimase aja lemmikult - Ciaralt:
