“In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.”

- George Balanchine

You can tell you’re a dancer when you see “cool” pictures of non-dancers wearing pointe shoes and your brain screams no, no, no, no, no you’re doing it wrong, it’s ugly and you’ll hurt yourself!

“The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you’re okay.”
