“I was a dancer, and it's not really cool for a boy to dance, so it was inspiring to see a movie like 'Footloose' where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool, and when these kids would make fun of me, I'd be like, 'Oh, didn't you see 'Footloose,' man?” MenFeelsMadeReasonKidsGuyFunBehindsBoysDancingDancerMasculineReally CoolFootloose Author:Kenny Wormald
“Dancing is such a despised and dishonored trade that if you tell a doctor or a laywer you do choreography he'll look at you as if you were a hummingbird. Dancers don't get invited to visit people. It is assumed a boy dancer will run off with the spoons and a girl with the head of the house.” PeopleIfsLooksRunningGirlHouseBoysDoctorsTradeDancingDanceDancerInvitedDespisedSpoonsChoreographyHummingbirds Author:Agnes de Mille

“Life is like invading Russia. A blitz start, massed shakos, plumes dancing like a flustered henhouse; a period of svelte progress recorded in ebullient despatches as the enemy falls back; then the beginning of a long, morale-sapping trudge with rations getting shorter and the first snowflakes upon your face. The enemy burns Moscow and you yield to General January, whose fingernails are very icicles. Bitter retreat. Harrying Cossacks. Eventually you fall beneath a boy-gunner's grapeshot while crossing some Polish river not even marked on your general's map.” FirstsLongFacesLife IsFallEnemyBoysProgressPeriodsRiversDancingRussiaBitterMapsYieldYour FaceRetreatPolishLife Is LikeCrossingsJanuaryFall BackMoraleMoscowSnowflakeFingernailsInvadingBlitzRationsIciclesGunnersCossacks Author:Julian Barnes

“Dancing makes people feel good whether they're doing it or watching it. It's something I think everybody can relate to whether it's just a simple two-step or a B-boy watching another B-boy go crazy in a circle.
