"It is only by the restoration of our bodies as instruments of reverence, moral discipline and spiritual realization that we will set to work to evolve a finer life...We have women in all professions continuing to progress in heart and brain, but ignoring their bodies, while the ballet dancer's entire concern is with her arabesques and entrechats...It is not that we should specialize less, but that we should humanize more. Our disintegrations show in our bodies as well as in our minds. What single act can polarize and focus the forces of life -- physical, emotional and spiritual -- like the dance?"
