"The day a dancer stops being a student is the day they need to hang up their leotard."
~Linda Smith, Artistic Director of Repertory Dance Theater, on the first day of the intensive. She was trying to assure those in attendance that dancing alongside company members should not be intimidating because they are still learning also. True in all life situations. Everyone is still learning.

This is so true. The same also applies to yoga - even (or especially) when you teach you always need a teacher yourself.
Hope you are feeling better, Tiffany! xoxo

Kisses,darling
so true. that's what art is for me, a way to learn, a way to discover, a way to explore.

Divine image, and fantastic quote.
Come see who is on my stop-over on my "Virtual World Tour" post... tee hee :)
I hope I never stop learning, ever! In any capacity of my life...it's like shutting the door for good!
Great quote, thank you :)
And you know what, I always feel that dancers are the only people who really get that ? They really don't take anything for granted and are always striving to be better; not first, just better. And once they can't do that any more, or don't want to, as you say, they are off. Probably that's just how it should be.
Lovely quote, so true.
Love the quote but REALLY love the picture!! How can a picture say so much without saying anything at all? Hmmmm...
I can't imagine anything being more true than that quote. Gorgeous! :)
wise words...and such a gorgeous tutu!
oh that picture is gorgeous. i love the quote too
So true! That's why I try never to let people intimidate me, they're still learning! Also, this is why therapists need therapists, lol! XO!

what a BEAUTIFUL image!
and her words are so true. i used to take a lot of drawing and painting classes. it drove me BONKERS because some classmates were so skilled and professional, and some of us (MOI) were just insecure beginners that bumbled around and couldn't seem to get anything right. but CLEARLY i was focusing on the wrong thing! all types are at all different stages, and ALL are learning. :)
that dress looks beautiful :)

I love that quote, so true! and that photo is simply stunning, what a dreamy leotard!
I can't wait to hear more about what you're learning! And if you get to wear a dress like that, I'm super jealous.
I feel like this applies to so many things! There's a particular college professor that comes to mind for me...:)

I just love this post. Not only is the picture beautiful, but the quote is strikingly true in nearly any job.
my dear friend... somehow the more i think i'm learning the more i realize that i don't know much... keep on leaning!!!
SO TRUE! and probably what makes life interesting... to keep on exploring ;)
These are excellent words of wisdom indeed.
What a wonderful quote accompanied by a gorgeous image!
