Famous quotes containing the words music and/or dance:

    “It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

    “The gentlemen [at a ball], as they passed and repassed, looked as if they thought we were quite at their disposal, and only waiting for the honour of their commands; and they sauntered about, in a careless indolent manner, as if with a view to keep us in suspense.... I thought it so provoking, that I determined in my own mind that, far from humouring such airs, I would rather not dance at all.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
