Canyon Dance Academy

Creating dancers who are useful, imaginative, worthwhile human beings

"We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn dance by practicing dancing or learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes...an athlete of God." ~Martha Graham

From "Dancing in the Wings" a book by Debbie Allen.

            Ever since I was born and could see,
            Everywhere I looked, I saw dance.
            In the clouds as the wind blew them across the sky,
            In the ripples on a pond,
            Even in the sea of ants marching up and down their hills.
            Dance was all around me. Dance was me.
