| "Dancing is an AMAZING activity. You can
go up to a gorgeous woman that you've never met before, spend three minutes
touching her virtually anywhere on her body, and she THANKS you for it
afterwards!" - Swing meister Mario Robau, Jr. at a workshop in Bethesda,
MD, Spring, 1991
"Lesser dancers stumble, better dancers
syncopate"
"Women have to do everything that a man
does, but backwards and in high heels!" - Ginger Rogers
Dancers and musicians have always counted
music differently. (There is an anecdote about Stravinsky yelling at Nijinsky,
"There is no 27 in my music!"...)
"No move is too tricky, no spin too excessive.
For my partner." - John Hayes

Another from Mario Robau. He tells competitors this after judging results
have been announced and there are winners, placers and especially non-placers
still standing around on the floor. - He faces the dancers on the floor
and says to remember that the difference between those who participated
and those who didn't is not whether they won the contest but rather that
(pointing to the dancers) "You danced and .." (pointing to the folks who
are seated) "you didn't."
