Dance Quote: Fred Astaire
January 11th, 2010 by soullldiva
“Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.” Fred Astaire
I love that Fred Astaire quote for personal reasons. I’ve studied dance for over 10 years in my adult life, and more when I was younger. I abandoned when I was in middle school it because I felt I wasn’t “born to dance”. And others, with more natural talent than myself, were. But for anyone who has worked and studied their butts off, and rehearsed until 3am–that is just a piece of false information. Not only can anyone dance, anyone can be great. That’s just my philosophy! So thanks, Fred, for the awesome quote.
