“When the music does not dance, it changes disc.”

“but it's so hard to dance that way when it's cold and there's no music.”

Tom Waits (1949) American singer-songwriter and actor

“Bharatanatyam is grounded in bhakthi. In fact bhakthi is at the center of all arts of India. Our music and dance are two offerings to God…This experience may only occur once in a while but when it does for that little duration, its grandeur enters the soul not transiently but with a sense of eternity. As one gets involved in the art, with greater and greater dedication, one can continuously experience throughout the few hours of the dance, the unending joy, this complete well-being, especially when music and dance mingle indistinguishably.”

Balasaraswati (1918–1984) Indian dancer

“But first I was made to learn music, because music and dance go together. You can sing, but you can’t dance without music…”

Vyjayanthimala (1936) Indian actress, politician & dancer

“Dancing music, music sad,
Both together, sane and mad…”

John Keats (1795–1821) English Romantic poet

Eazy-E (1963–1995) American rapper and producer

“See the music, hear the dance.”

George Balanchine (1904–1983) Georgian choreographer, dancer and ballet master (1904-1983)

George Balanchine (1904–1983) Georgian choreographer, dancer and ballet master (1904-1983)
