I always did each show for about two years. So if you play the music, it just comes back to me.
Meaning of the quote
Gwen Verdon, the famous American dancer, explains that she would perform each of her shows for around two years. This means she would do the same dance routines and hear the same music for a long time. As a result, whenever she hears that music again, it immediately brings back the memory of performing those familiar dance moves. The music triggers the recall of the dances she did for so long.
More quotes from Gwen Verdon
Sex in a dance is in the eyes of the beholder. I never thought my dances sexy. I suppose that’s because I see myself with my face washed, and to me I look like a rabbit.
