Julia,
Curious, I did a search on Google.com that I can share with you (and our
fellow list members): 
http://www.google.com/search?q=dancing+dance+quotation+quote - you can
highlight and copy this URL and paste it into your browser.
There seem to be some rich resources in store for you.  Here are some of
the search results that I could validate for you:
BalletWeb: http://www.novia.net/~jlw/spotlight/spotlight.html, with
	Favorite Dance Quotes at
http://www.novia.net/~jlw/spotlight/quotes.html
and don't overlook, "Ballet Laughs" at 
	http://www.novia.net/~jlw/spotlight/humor.html

Voice of Dance: Quote of the Day is listed in the Google results but the
page is a "not found".  I have e-mailed an inquiry to the site's
webmaster to find out if the feature has been discontinued or she just
forgot to put up a forwarder for the old URL (the site has just been
redesigned - very, very elegant looking, btw).

UTOPIA LIMITED or THE FLOWERS OF PROGRESS, by Gilbert & Sullivan
	http://diamond.idbsu.edu/GaS/utopia/libretto.txt
	- search for the string "dancing" to get the lines for
	  Phantis and Scaphio, and several other references to dance

Great Quotations from Cybernation.com - "Dance and Dancing":
http://www.cybernation.com/victory/quotations/subjects/quotes_danceanddancing.html
I chuckled a bit over the first one, from David Byrne (Talking Heads):
	"To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware."

Skyward's Quotations page, http://www2.powr.net/skyward/quotes.htm,
yields these:
	- "One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give
           birth to a dancing star." -- Friedrich Neitzsche
	- "If you can walk, you can dance.
           If you can talk, you can sing." -- a Zimbabwe saying

I changed the search string to "quotes about dancing",
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22quotes+about+dancing%22&num=10&sa=Google+Search,
and got results a bit more focused:
Rhods Dance Index yields up a page about Quotations related to dance:
http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/avenue/acd88/dance/quotes.html
(I found several sites that have links to this quotations page, btw.)
- including a link for William Prynne (1600-1669) who was famous for his
diatribes against dancing:
http://ds.dial.pipex.com/town/avenue/acd88/dance/people/Prynne.html
And, to keep yourself from being too serious, you just gotta see Archie
McPhee's push-button dancing skeleton at
http://www.mcphee.com/bigindex/current/10019.html !!
atbty,
