As a professional dancer myself, there is nothing that rings truer to a dancer than staying true to your passion and moving & expressing that which stems from your soul. We must allow our bodies to speak for us through movement.
I don’t have a favorite ballet dancer but I have to say that the Nutcracker is one of my favorite musicals around Christmas time. It’s such a lovely, peaceful show to watch and gets me in the mood during the holiday season.
I wish I had one, but I have no clue. I like the one who has been in the Nutcracker at our local theater for the past two years.
I’m about to crucify the spelling of his name, I’m sure. But I’ve always liked Mikhail Baryshnikov. Oh, and Gregory Hines too!
I think you might have nailed it LIZ! Shelley
I’m always enthralled by dancers. They manage to look very mystic.
These are great! My 2 year old just started dance… I’m excited for the future!
It just goes on and on. My daughter actually went away to a performing arts HS for ballet. So be careful! Shelley
When i was little I followed many dancers, I was enthralled. I don’t anymore, but I’m curious now. I should look up where they are now.
You should Tammi! You’d be surprised. Shelley
Even though I’m not a dancer, those are awesome quotes. I’ll have to share them with my sisters!
Thanks Meagan. Shelley
Ballet is near and dear to my heart as I was an aspiring ballerina a very long time ago! What great quotes.
So was my daughter Kelly (her name is Kelly too). She went 4 years to a performing arts High School. Shelley
My daughter took ballet lessons for about a year and a half, but we stopped last Spring. This may inspire me to sign her up again!
It’s something that gives a girl incredible poise Carrie! Shelley
I have never watched a ballet performance but this looks lovely.
I can always use quotes to uplift my day. Thanks for sharing these quotes about ballerinas!
My favorite quote is the one about being good to yourself and to others. That’s a great one.
Isn’t it? We need to post it in our groups occasionally to remind everyone to be nice to each other!! SHelley
I am not a big fan of ballet. But, one thing is for sure, I can surely appreciate it. 🙂
I’m a dancer at heart. I never pursued it out of high school, but I LOVE watching it. So beautiful.
I can’t say that I have a particular favorite dancer… I am a bit biased, I would have to say my daughter.
What great quotes! Very encouraging and so true!
This is timely because I just got tickets to see the Nutcracker yesterday. I haven’t seen the ballet in years.
oh you will have such fun! Taking the boys to that? SHelley
My youngest daughter was an amazing ballerina. I only wish she had stayed in dance. She was such an inspiration when she danced. As for favorite professional ballerina, one of the most memorable performances I have ever seen was Meridith Benson dancing in Giselle in Chicago. My youngest daughter was still very young then, but she was moved to tears by the performance and I think that was a turning point for her with dance.
What a Lovely story Linda! Thanks for sharing that. The Chief Blonde
