Indian Dancer Quotes

Rukmini Devi Arundale

Protima Bedi

Birju Maharaj

'Indian', [mom said], you will write Indian. And if they have a problem with that let them come and talk to me. They have no business asking you your religion. How is that the basis for an educational qualification?

We dance with our bodies, but we finally forget them and transform them.

Rukmini Devi Arundale

I was born in Lucknow 1938, 4 February. It was Friday. A hot day as it usually happens in spring... in that home where I was born there were only girls. I was the only boy. So our neighbours came saw that that there were all girls and just one boy... like Krishna and gopis they used to say. So my name became Brijmohan Misra. Brij is the name of the city where Krishna was born and 'Mohan 'means attraction. Brijmohan is a way of saying Krishna, the god of love and dance.
