Flat Feet Quotes

“Like a geyser there is a life force bubbling from undernearth pushing forward and up with an energy to burst like fireworks. Keep that energy flowing. If you stuck and limit that energy all types of depletion will cause every kind of dis-ease...just release it straitght foward and in high. Keep that good vibe!! Mahalo and Aloha”

“I'll never forget the day I met Rudy (aka Rudolf Nureyev). He was at the St Peter's Theatre for a rehearsal with the Ballet of Nancy on the same stage I would dance with the Young Ballet of Sao Paulo some years later. I saw him leaving the place in the backdoor wearing his Black outfit boots and Bohemian hat. People surrounded him to get his autograph. My sister pulled me out so we wouldn't be massacred by the crowd. He did a very Russian move step-step and stop before a hole (such a cute role) in the sidewalk. Took the limousine and passed right in front of where my sister and I stood. He took a glance at me and had a gentle expression like saying, "yep you stood up from that crowd. I see you..." Lovely soul. I have this image in my heart ever since.

What I didn't know then and could never imagine it was that just a few months later I would be dancing with the Ballet of São Paulo in the same Theatre he performed his Apollo. He did send his charisma towards me!”

“If the cowards who wage war
Were to fight on the front lines
No more discord would be on earth
And no more innocent people would die

“You can never force nature.
You just let it come so sure!
When it's ready
To spread its wings steady
And dry them waiting the sun
Not aware it'll be so much fun
to go towards the sky.
Then simply watch it fly...”

“Without persistence or resistance
we can never push forward,
Reach out our goals toward,
defy the laws of gravity or dance!”

“Train, train, train,
Put yourself to the test.
Under sun or rain,
With no reason nor rest.
Without feeling pain
You'll always be the best!”

“As I'm a WIP (work in progress)
whip me if I'm wrong or disgress,
but time has no excuse
to age us at all, no use
when all that we feel is being ageless!”
