Fred Astaire Dancing Quotations

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.

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

Dancing is a vertical interpretation of a horizontal intention.

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.

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

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

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