"Dance is a soulful journey of the spirit, as well as the physical body.
Becoming a dancer takes many years of dedication and hard work. There’s
no 'fast forward' button we can push for learning to dance. No short cuts.
A great dancer accomplishes a harmonious blend of strength, elegance, high
technical ability, and musicality, all the while appearing a seamless, effortless vision.
A great artist acquires all of these skills, yet with that acquisition comes the
realization the journey has just begun." -- Zahra Zuhair
