“This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't ...” — Fred Astaire Quote

“This search for what you want is like tracking something that doesn't want to be tracked. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable.”

“The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style.”

“I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.”

“When I was teaching I'd go to some schools where no one wanted to dance - when they came into the room it was as though they were being punished. But I'd put on the loudest, the heaviest metal you could imagine and they loved it.”

“People usually first ask me about 'Let's Dance' and then they ask me about my decollete.”

“I am dumb when it comes to learning dance steps.”
