Frequently Asked Questions

How intensely do these speakers feel about dance?
Very. One puts it in the strongest possible terms: "if I don't dance, I'd rather die." It's a striking way of showing just how central dance is to their identity.
Is there a quote about living fully in the moment through dance?
Yes, a beautiful one: "think about exactly what you're doing right now and live it and dance it and breath it and be it." It ties dance to a bigger philosophy of presence, not just movement.
What role did dance play growing up, according to these quotes?
For one speaker, it was formative and protective — they "started in dance classes when I was, like, seven years old," and explain the arts more broadly helped keep their "mind focused" growing up in "South Central Los Angeles." For more on the people who make dance their craft, see our Dancer quotes.
Can dance be used to explore ideas beyond just movement?
