Dance Quote by Sylvie Guillem

“As much as I love my work, I do appreciate my rare days off. Even then, I can't afford to let the dancing go. I need at least an hour just to keep in shape, so wherever I am in the world, I'll grab the door or the furniture and do some serious exercise.” quote by Sylvie Guillem — Download Open image
