Lester Horton quotes
-
“I am sincerely trying now to create a dance technique based entirely upon corrective exercises, created with a knowledge of human anatomy; a technique which will correct physical faults and prepare a dancer for any type of dancing he may wish to follow; a technique having all the basic movements which govern the actions of the body; combined with a knowledge of the origin of movement and a sense of artistic design.”
-- Lester Horton

“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.”
-
“Toe dancing is a dandy attention getter, second only to screaming.”
-
“A man screaming is not a dancing bear. Life is not a spectacle.”
-
“I am taking belly dancing now. My hips are double-jointed, so I can do it really easily.”
-
“By the way, dancers are not human beings. How can you be human and do what they do?”
