Pearl Primus quotes
-
“The dance is strong magic. The body can fly without wings. It can sing without voice. The dance is strong magic. The dance is life.”
-- Pearl Primus -
“I dance not to entertain but to help people better understand each other. Because through dance I have experienced the wordless joy of freedom, I seek it more fully now for my people and for all people everywhere.”
-- Pearl Primus -
“Why do I dance? Dance is my medicine. It’s the scream which eases for a while the terrible frustration common to all human beings who because of race, creed, or color, are ‘invisible’. Dance is the fist with which I fight the sickening ignorance of prejudice.”
-- Pearl Primus

“A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head.”
-
“Toe dancing is a dandy attention getter, second only to screaming.”
