American - Dancer
Born: January 27, 1948

Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.

Fred Astaire

I would love for dancers to be treated better and for dancers to have support, for dancers to have managers, agents. This is the only art form that does not have a proper support system.

Sergei Polunin

It's going to take a while before we see a real shift in the students and the dancers that are going into professional companies because it takes so many years of training, but I do think that there's a new crop of dancers, of minority dancers that are entering into the ballet world.

Misty Copeland

Actors are born, good actors are trained. Dancers are born, good dancers are trained.

Mithun Chakraborty

The Royal Ballet is the best paid company, but the dancers get nothing. The stage crew get paid three times more than the dancers, and they have a job for life - dancers only have 10 years.

Sergei Polunin

I don't ever use dancers, and when I do, it's literally, like, four break dancers.

Rita Ora

I'm still trying to change the way people see black dancers that we can become delicate dancers, that we can be a ballerina.

Michaela DePrince

It's important to get well-rounded right off the bat. A lot of experienced dancers can get pigeonholed into one thing. I've been hired for a lot of different gigs simply because I can do a lot of different things with different levels of dancers. And it's sad to me that some dancers don't do more.

Mandy Moore

Dancers aren't made of their technique, but their passion.

Agnes de Mille

For 20 years, I've been running an institute in Chennai where serious dancers from Kerala come with aspirations of becoming professional dancers.

Shobana

All women are born dancers in the sense that natural movement becomes their body and grows out of their instinctive feeling for womanhood, motherhood and tenderness.

Nelly Mazloum

I know that dancers, especially ballet dancers, can't do it forever.

Kelli Berglund

Fortunately I'm Latin, and I'm born with a little bit of rhythm by default. It's in the DNA. I have that going for me, but I've never been considered one of the world's greatest dancers.

Adam Rodriguez

It's kind of become a journey about the dancers, but dancers are the reason why this show is so successful. They are the choreographers, they are the teachers and if not for their hard work, there would be no 'Dancing With the Stars.'

Artem Chigvintsev

A producer wouldn't think of making a film about ballet dancers without using real dancers, but they will cast actors who have never held a bat in baseball films.

D. B. Sweeney

I sent 200, 300 of the clothes that I had made, and the dancers chose what they liked.

Issey Miyake
