To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.
David ByrneLet us read and let us dance – two amusements that will never do any harm to the world.
VoltaireI was asked to act when I couldn’t act. I was asked to sing ‚Funny Face‘ when I couldn’t sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn’t dance – and do all kinds of things I wasn’t prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.
Audrey HepburnDancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
George Bernard ShawI just kept touring and touring until it became second nature to go onstage, perform, and sing.
The WeekndI spent two years in the military service, then I trudged around in repertory for quite a while. I somehow wound up at the National Theatre, though, and then I was definitely on my way.
Anthony HopkinsDancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it’s fun. While it’s happening it’s fun. I feel tall.
Ariana GrandeDoing stand-up is like running across a frozen pond with the ice breaking behind you. I love it because it’s dangerous.
Steven WrightDancing was always part of my culture growing up in Barbados. When I shot my 1st video I worked really hard with my choreographer to perfect the routines.
RihannaMy dancing is Hawaiian-inspired but I also get a little fresh when it comes to my faster songs.
Lana Del ReySome people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
Henny YoungmanI like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.
Taylor SwiftI get nervous when I don’t get nervous. If I’m nervous I know I’m going to have a good show.
Beyonce KnowlesI wouldn’t say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.
Lady GagaIn that film, the man and the part met. As far as I’m concerned, that part is Greg’s for life. I’ve had many, many offers to turn it into musicals, into TV or stage plays, but I’ve always refused.
Harper LeeThe art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
Marcus AureliusYou must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI’m always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it’s really nasty there but it’s not.
Amy WinehouseI’ve taken so many kids out of Pittsburgh and onto the great white way in New York City right into a Broadway show.
Abby Lee MillerI’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.
Dwayne JohnsonAt times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.
Bob DylanI knew that I was ‚interesting‘ at 18 because I was aware that I could get away with doing things on stage.
David BowieI’ve been in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus since I was 8.
Billie EilishNothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!
Ariana GrandeAside from singing, I’m also a dancer. I’ve been dancing since I was 8.
Billie EilishI’m a singer, a writer and an actress – when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.
Dolly PartonI live half the year on Necker, a tiny island in the Caribbean, and it’s always full of people in party mode. Everyone comes up to the big house, and we’ll be dancing until the early hours to the island’s band, the Front Line.
Richard BransonUs sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
Alice WalkerAll I have to say is basically if performing, singing, acting, and dancing is what you want to do, then you just have to do it – no matter where it is.
Ariana GrandeDoing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons.
Abby Lee MillerWhatever I’m feeling, whatever I’m going through, whatever mood I’m in… If I’m feeling like dancing or clubbing, then it will be reflected in the music. If I’m feeling dark and vulnerable, then it will reflect in the music, too.
RihannaI’d love to do a musical. I’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.
Dwayne JohnsonI’ve conducted the Boston Pops! Imagine that! Me! Maya Angelou! I’ve sang and danced at La Scala!
Maya AngelouI grew up in a musical family; the majority of my growing up was done in Hawaii. It’s what we do. You sing, you dance, you play ukulele and you drink.
Dwayne Johnson
