"Dancing is a beautiful way to say thank you to your body and join the human race."

"I see dance as a visual, tactile,
and sensual language, structured with a specific vocabulary and idiom,
within an organic bind of space/time principles and, most importantly,
related to the dynamics of energy and flow with a capacity to recharge
human beings."
- Chandralekha

"It's not easy in the digital era
to get a full house for live shows, to keep the curtains up. Performers
have to think of ways to make their art more appealing to the real
world."

"Dance choreography is like
composing music. Any artist that exactly knows what is going to happen
on the stage is not creating much."

"The coronavirus has interrupted and upended the performing arts, but
it's also made something clear about dance: It isn't beholden to a
proscenium stage. Its visibility, through TikTok, Instagram, YouTube
and, yes, even people on the street, has been undeniable, even with
theaters shut down. Dancers are still performing and choreographers are
still creating, be it for a premiere on video, a reinvention of a
classic or a combination of the two. While there's no denying that this
is an incredibly difficult time for dance and dance artists, it's also
been a privilege to witness such imagination and resilience."
