ارقص.. يجب أن ترقص.. مادامت الموسيقى تعزف، يجب أن ترقص، لا تفكر حتى في السبب، إذا شرعت في التفكير فسوف تتوقف قدماك. إذا توقفت قدماك فسوف نتعطل نحن، فسوف تتعطل أنت/ لذا لا تفكر في شيء مهما بدا ذلك حمقا، يجب أن تواصل الخطى.. يجب أن تُمرّن جسمك، يجب أن تحلحل ما قمت بربطه، يجب أن تستخدم كل ما لديك، نعلم أنك متعب، متعب وخائف، هذا ما يحدث لكل شخص.. حسنا، فقط لا تدع قدميك تتوقفان.
