I also had a will that let me eliminate everything that stood in the way of my becoming the best dancer I could be. By a gradual process... (I) had invested every bit of my dreams, my hopes, my energies in defining myself as a dancer.

Twyla Tharp

I always wanted to be a dancer. I danced for maybe 16 years. So I would have loved to have been a dancer in the past.

Liz Kendall

I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I was bad - I'm not very coordinated. But I always wished I could have been a dancer.

Gia Coppola

Still, I started as a group dancer and became known to the public as a dancer. So, dancing will always remain close to my heart.

Raghava Lawrence

Forget the dancer, the center of the ego. Become the dance. Then the dancer disappears and only the dance remains. Then the dancer is the dance. There is no dancer separate from dance, no dance separate from the dancer.

Rajneesh

I was a dancer for many years. I was a premier dancer with 'Porgy and Bess,' the opera. And I taught dance some, in different places.

Maya Angelou

I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.

Liza Minnelli

Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.

Michael Flatley

A good dancer is not necessarily defined by great technique, skill, or ability to pick up choreography but by confidence. When you feel the music, it penetrates to your soul. Everybody's a dancer. The greatest dancer is someone who is willing to dance, not afraid.

Alyssa Edwards

I was a dancer for over 20 years.

Carmella

If I was trained as a dancer then I probably would have been a dancer, and I'm not.

Caroline Flack

I set as my goal to be the best dancer I could be. Not the most famous, or the highest paid dancer, just the best I could be. Out of this discipline came great freedom and calm.

Suzanne Farrell

I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.

Lea Thompson

I taught and studied dance in college, and for over a decade, I thought that would be my career: tap dancer, ballet dancer, modern dancer. I still find myself doing some tumbling or interpretive dancing in the grocery store every now and then.

Margo Price

A dancer's life is hard - it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.

Monica Cruz

As a dancer, you really try to stay true to whatever the choreographer/artistic director is giving you. So, now the shoe is on the other foot and I have to trust everyone else - I have to trust the dancer. As I was trusted as a dancer, I trust my dancers.
