~By Robert Palmer ~
I think English people were a lot better at breakdancing than they were at making records.
~By Norman Cook ~
You get a show where people are jumping up and dancing, but it's not a critical event in the sense of profound catharsis. Essentially it's celebratory.
~By Archie Shepp ~

Dancing with Kate Beckinsale made me very excited.
~By Richard Roxburgh ~

~By Lawrence Welk ~
Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.
~By Monique Coleman ~

~By Friedrich Nietzsche ~

~By Cesar Romero ~
All the gestures of children are graceful; the reign of distortion and unnatural attitudes commences with the introduction of the dancing master.

Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
~By John Dryden ~
I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'
~By Zac Efron ~
Every act I see, their whole act is choreographed. I'm sick of seeing these dancers. The only reason they have them is they don't have enough talent to get people dancing themselves.
~By Ronnie Spector ~
We get these overzealous young men and their girlfriends. It's happened occasionally where one of them will lean up against the front of the stage and the guy is behind her, and it starts off as just dancing and then it gets into something more.
~By Chris Frantz ~
All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.
~By Vera Wang ~
I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.

~By Clive Barnes ~

~By Ninette de Valois ~
I sat in at every club in New York City, jamming with musicians, because it felt right - and because it felt right and we were having fun - the people dancing and sipping their drinks in the clubs felt it too and it made them smile.
~By Ray Conniff ~
In my 50s I'll be dancing at my children's weddings.
~By Michael J. Fox ~
My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.
~By Michelle Shocked ~
I remember going for the first time to a place called The Roxy in New York because you can see people breakdancing there. That's the only reason I went! It's amazing, kids are still doing that.
~By Chris Frantz ~
We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.
~By Martha Graham ~

~By Miguel Angel Ruiz ~
When we did Top of the Pops for the third time, we decided to do it as a television program here called Come Dancing, which is not as rude as it sounds.
~By Neil Innes ~
So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.
~By Katherine Dunham ~
Dancing came easy to me.
~By Hedda Hopper ~
Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent.
~By Kenneth H. Cooper ~

~By Nusrat F. A. Khan ~
At male strip shows, it is still the women that we watch, the audience of women and their eager faces. They are more obscene than if they were dancing naked themselves.

~By Maximilian Schell ~
I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.
~By Twyla Tharp ~
Ever since I was a little kid, whenever my parents would have company over, I would put on shows, whether they would be magic shows, singing shows, dancing shows, little skits.
~By Ellen Muth ~
They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
~By Friedrich Nietzsche ~

~By Giorgio Moroder ~
The first Matrix genius, the second one, what's up with the dancing? I haven't even seen the third one.

~By Carmen Electra ~
As an actor, I've grown considerably. It's taken me years to get comfortable doing a romantic scene and dancing on stage in front of a live audience. I've really opened up a lot.

~By Horace Walpole ~

~By Ann Beattie ~
I did my homework and didn't go out much, and had a very highly developed kitsch fantasy life where I dreamed of being a dancing girl.

You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights.
