. . . and while I know a woman who learned Greek at ninety there are nevertheless some skills, like ballet dancing and gum chewing, which can only be mastered by the very young.
-- Jean Kerr, Penny Candy
Now that my hair is white, and my years of life ahead are growing fewer, I think that the pains I have taken over dancing have not really been pains, and I must study harder, much harder.

-- Anthony Trollope, Can You Forgive Her?
When you do dance, I wish you / A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do / Nothing but that.
-- William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale
