Yamini Krishnamurthy Quotes

1. “A dance performance is rather like going out into a battlefield. You have to hold the attention of as many as five to 10,000 people a lot of whom do not follow your language.”
— Yamini Krishnamurthy

2. “A dancer must have a tremendous personality. A God like Christ and even a godman like Rajneesh had some personality. A combination of talent, dedication, creativity, and being emotive is imperative. A coupling of these four qualities with technique is essential. Monotony is a deterrent as it regards your style and I notice today, that new dancers perform in a startlingly similar fashion.”
— Yamini Krishnamurthy
