First relax, and be able to absorb things, and be able to do it without any fear that maybe you will make mistakes.

Since my job, my duty is to encourage the dancers and not to discourage them, I’m trying to give them an idiom by telling them, "Don’t worry about the mistakes. Make mistakes with a lot of confidence."

Don’t hesitate, because when you are hesitating then all your body is freezing and you are afraid to move, because you are afraid to make mistakes. You can’t move this way when your mind is just thinking about the mistakes that you might do.

The dance needs relaxation and not a tight body. I’m giving them an idea: don’t worry.

Sometimes students want to impress the teacher and I don’t think that this is something good. They don’t want to disappoint the teacher, or disappoint themselves.

We are human beings and we make mistakes. I used to use a phrase that said: perfection is a value of God; but the ambition to be perfect is the value of mankind.

We are trying to achieve the best we can. But, when we make mistakes from time to time, it gives us a message that there is no space for another God.
