Dancing Quotes

What do people have to say about dancing? Let's find out! Here are some quotes from people from all occupations: writers, singers and more.

 

To everything there is a season, 

and a time to every purpose under heaven: 

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, 

and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, 

and a time to build up; 

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, 

and a time to dance.

--The Bible

--Martha Graham
