Fred Astaire Dancing Quotations

I don't remember anybody ever pointing me out as a dancing prodigy, but I played a not bad second base.

I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.

When you have a Dancing partner, there's always gonna be a moment where the girl's gonna cry, Ginger didn't do that. But, most every other girl I've worked with have cried because they said "aah, I can't do it" and I have to go "Yes, you can, Shut up!" and they do do it.

I don't make love by kissing, I make love by dancing.

I have no desire to prove anything by dancing ... I just dance.

For ballroom dancing, remember that your partners have their own distinctive styles also. Cultivate flexibility. Be able to adapt your style to that of your partner. In doing so, you are not surrendering your individuality, but blending it with that of your partner.

Dancing is a vertical interpretation of a horizontal intention.

Do it big, do it right and do it with style.
