Ballerina - One of My Favorite Painting Subjects
"To touch, to move, to inspire. This is the true gift of dance." ― Aubrey Lynch
“Ballet is a dance executed by the human soul.” ― Alexander Pushkin
“Ballet discipline: only the true believer would suffer the rigors it demanded.” ― Author Unknown
"My hope is to shed light, provoke thought, entertain, and move through dance." ― Dwight Rhoden
"Dancers are not great because of their talent...they are great because of their passion" ― Unknown
"Striving for connection with the audience is essential because you are in the moment; it is a give and take relationship. Catching someone's eye during a performance makes it more special" ― Aubrey Lynch
"The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage." ― Robert Caro
“You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.” ― Merce Cunningham
