Ballet Beautiful

“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. 

Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. 

Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. 

Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. 

March to the beat of your own drummer. 

And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” 

― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

“Dance, when you’re broken open.

 Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. 

Dance in the middle of the fighting. 

Dance in your blood. 

Dance when you’re perfectly free.” 

― Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi

They danced by the light of the moon.”

“To be creative means to be in love with life. 

You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” 

― Osho
