Dancer Archive

"The Dancer believes that her art has something to
say which cannot be expressed in words or in any
other way than by dancing... there are times when
the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function
of a volume of words. There are movements which
impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is
incomparable, for movement has power to stir the
senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the
dancer's justification for being, and her reason for
searching further for deeper aspects of her art."

~Doris Humphrey, 1937
