九次世界冠軍，答問「技術、藝術」孰重：
Dancesportinfo: 
I'll ask you a question I asked Donnie: Which do you value more technique or artistry. I know you cannot separate them....
明知「技術、藝術」不可分，但孰重？

Marcus : 
I think you need both. It's the mixture, it's like ingredients of a good meal, you must make sure you have everything.
一道佳餚的成分，缺一不可。

Karen: 
The only thing is that artistry is born, you can't teach it. You can bend it, and nurture it but you have to be born with it. And that instinct with music, it's natural. I do believe that you can teach technique if one is prepared to be on the floor hour after hour after hour. But you can't teach the flair. Yes, develop it, magnify but it's God given, the flair.
藝術能力，天分的成分居多，比較難教。
技術能力，只要肯學，肯下工夫，就有機會。

Marcus: 
Sometimes when I am teaching maybe not such a high level Professional or Amateur I would lean more to the technical side of it, even if they were artistic or not artistic, I would lean to that. To emphasise the correct usage of the knees or the ankles, the feet, correct body position. Whereas on a higher ranked or better Professional or Amateur, I would work the other way round. Because sometimes the artistic movement you see, can produce greater technique. It is like a runner, he learns to move his body before he thinks how he's using his legs and feet. To make him faster and better he would analyse it.
當我教一般選手時，多半從技術與正確的關節運作下手。
當我教高階選手時，大多從藝術性下手，因爲具有藝術美感的動作裡已包含了高階技術。

I was always told to approach every couple's lesson differently, because no two couples are the same. But I think the technique side in our business is sadly missed, when people are trying to rely on choreographed movement or they forget what the underlying factor is that you still need to look beautiful. I don't care what you say; if you don't have good technique you don't look beautiful on the floor. Whatever you're doing it's got to look aesthetically pleasing.
很可惜我們舞蹈界不太重視「技術」，很多人倚靠炫麗的舞序，但是沒有扎實的技術，沒有正確扎實的技術，就不可能「純正優美」。

Karen: 
And technique will support you through, thick or thin. Technique makes movement more economical, if you're doing it the correct way.
唯有「正確的技術」，才是最有效率的舞動，或多或少都能助你進步。
