"Balanchine famously said there are no mothers-in-law in ballet. Meaning, it's not an art form suited for portraying complicated family relationships, or psychological subtleties. It's a place to get away from them, into a purer realm.
Dance is very good on romantic love. Love is one of its best, easiest, most beautiful and wonderful expressions. The dive, the swoop, the swoon. (Dance is also excellent for anger, pride, and sorrow.)
I love better in my work than I do anywhere else."
