Quotes 

• Aang : [to the Fire Nation students]  Listen, guys, dancing isn't something you think about. It's a form of self-expression that no one can *ever* take away from you.

  Shoji : Maybe it was different in the colonies, Kuzon, But we don't do that here.

  Aang : Sure you do. You have for generations. It just so happens that I know several classic Fire Nation dances. A hundred years ago, this was known as the Phoenix Flight.

  [Demonstrates dance] 

• Aang : [In music class]  I know. I'm a terrible Tsungi hornist.

  Music Teacher : No, child, that hullabaloo going on with your feet, is that a nervous disorder?

  Aang : I was just dancing. You do dances here in the homeland, right?

  Shoji : Not really, no.

  Music Teacher : Dancing is not conducive to a proper learning environment. Young people must have rigid discipline and order.

  Aang : But what about expressing yourself?

  Music Teacher : I know sometimes we're so moved by our love for our nation that we can't control our own bodies.

  [he claps his hand to his face and reconsiders] 

  Music Teacher : If you must, you may march in place quietly next time the urge hits you.
