High Strung

Ruby: Balanchine said, "See the music, hear the dance."

Johnnie: You're wasting your time with this guy. He isn't gonna help us.
Ruby: Sometimes, people can surprise you.

Ruby: You know, music is like dance. It's a link to the soul. It can make people laugh. It can make people cry. It can inspire. With a power like that, why wouldn't you want to share it with the world?

Kramrovsky: You danced it beautifully.
Ruby: I can do it better.
Kramrovsky: You're too hard on yourself.
Ruby: I just want to be perfect.
Kramrovsky: And what happens when you've achieved perfection? You stop then? It's imperfections that keep us alive, motivating us to push further and further.

Kramrovsky: This is the problem. Stop trying to dance.
Ruby: But I'm a dancer.
Kramrovsky: No, no, you're not a dancer in this variation. You're a gypsy. Proud, upright. You understand? Again.

Kramrovsky: Ruby, each time you conquer a step, there will always be another challenge waiting. It's a long road. It never ends. As dancers, this is our journey.

Ruby: Have you completely forgotten who you are?
Jazzy: I'm a dancer.
Ruby: Then start acting like one... Dancers dance, no matter what.
