Martha Graham stated "It takes ten years, usually, to make a dancer. It takes ten years of handling the instrument, handling the material with which you are dealing, for you to know it completely"
The thing about dance is, it takes so long to be able to really find that "comfort" dancing offers to us as humans. The early years are spent sweating, stretching, doing steps over and over, building a vocabulary and body placement....it is almost as if by the time the dancer really gets to really "dance" they either quit, graduate high school and move on to college and don't dance anymore....It is always when they start to reach their potential too.
