Dancing is the perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.

Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.
Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself
Der Tanz ist ein Gedicht, von dem jede Bewegung ein Wort ist.

Ballett-modern-jazz-gravity analogy: If the dancers are attempting to prove that gravity does not exist, then it's ballett. If the dancers are attempting to demonstrate that gravity does exist, then it's modern. If the dancers are attempting to demonstrate that gravity does exist but they'd rather difighting it than give in to it, then it's jazz.
