August Bournonville Quotes:
Ocupation: Ballet choreographer
Life: August 21, 1805 - November 30, 1879
Birthday: August 21
Death: November 30
Mannerism is not character, and affectation is the avowed enemy of grace. Every dancer ought to regard his laborious art as a link in the chain of beauty, as a useful ornament for the stage, and this, in turn, as an important element in the spiritual development of nations.
