Quotes:

- All right, so I'll go to the Stardust Ballroom. I'll put on a blue suit, and I'll go. And you know what I'm gonna get for my trouble? Heartache. A big night of heartache. ~ Marty (Ernest Borgnine), screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky

- The language of dance is older than human language itself since body movement was used for communication before sound. ~ Benjamin Zemach, from Ha-Rikud
