Favorite quotes from this talk See all
This is one of the differences between classical ballet and modern dance: we are heavy-down, grounded, and earth-bound in modern dance while we are elevation and being up in the air in classical ballet.
In modern dance, we are really connected to what's down in the earth and it grows out of that.
In classical ballet, we are connected something 'up there' and it's where we wish to be.
