Quotes of the Day for 23 August 2003 - Dance

When we teach a child to draw, we teach him how to see. When we teach a child to play a musical instrument, we teach her how to listen. When we teach a child to dance, we teach him how to move through life with grace. When we tach a child to read and write, we teach her how to think. When we nurture imaginatioon, we create a better world, one child at a time.
     - Jane Alexander
