"No man can reveal to you aught but that
which lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the
shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of one’s wisdom but rather of
one’s faith and lovingness.
If a teacher is indeed wise they do not bid you to enter the house
of their wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind."

The idea behind this section of the BalletCentral
is to stimulate your thoughts about being an artist, teacher, and dancer. It will also
become a resource that you can use when you are teaching or inspiring others towards the
goal of excellence.
I'd love to read your interpretation of this
statement by K. Gibran. We also encourage you to share your opinions, experiences, ideas,
or a quote that you find inspiring. We can't post every response, but will share the most
appropriate reader mail with everyone here.
Anthony answers some of your
questions in this special section. You may email him at coach@danceart.com
