688:" daily classes became the center of my life. She demanded utter dedication from her students and imparted an unusually strong classical ballet technique. But technique was never an end in itself, rather it was necessary to give form to powerful images, to express the heights and depths of human experience. Music, emotion and dance were inseparable. Carmelita's accompanists were usually pianists of concert caliber who played with great feeling. The beauty of the music moved many of her students to tears, so it was not unusual to dance and at the same time weep." 452:, an exceptional woman whose emotional radio oratory championed a Republican faction. Maracci's political views were strongly held; she "wanted to change the world through theater." Yet she probably overreacted in St. Paul. At the theater manager, according to Agnes de Mille, Maracci "let loose... the full extent of her primal rage. She attacked the man personally and all the people of St. Paul." Forty years later, in a private letter, "she still referred to 'the drunken audience jeering at Spanish heroes'." 1853:"Then, like the splitting of wood, the earth-anger erects her and throws her out into space. She wrecks herself against the surface of the world. ... She spikes at the ground with her heels. ... She can kick up the ground all right! ¶ This is a punishment. This is the anger of the dust, the wrath of the grave. The weakening pulse shudders through her body. Her eyes roll back--her fear becomes audible. 'Ay!' she cries, and her teeth cannot hold the quivering lips. 'Ay!'" 587:"Her reputation attracted students" whether the young or the professional dancer. For Maracci "teaching gave her more autonomy." She had offered instruction in ballet since the 1930s, but it became her focus as she approached her fiftieth year. "Her teaching included politics, poetry, music, and cooking, as a way to nurture the art of dance as an integral part of the student's journey of life." "She lived in a world of people who came to sit at her feet." 532:"contrived to hide flaws" yet her "talent was immaculate". Although managers want reliable clients, "anyone who prefers practical cooperation to genius is a fool."

Perhaps it led her to become overly sensitive, apprehensive before a general audience that likely would be ill-prepared, unsuspecting of her intense emotional charge. On the other hand, it was the very strength of her principles that guided her when she grew and nurtured her art, and appraised the various offers to perform. Carmelita wrote:
408:"But unlike those who struggle for immortality, Maracci refused to compromise her sensibilities or her convictions. She turned away from the fame-makers and artist-merchants, often with just scant cause, and generally made herself inaccessible. By choice, she never connected with the major institutions nor lingered for long in the limelight." 556:"In literal terms, she Carmelita knew only privilege and doting parents, and never encountered a land of terror and blood soaked pits. Hers was purely a case of identification with its victims, an overt rallying to their cause, an imaginative leap. At its most profound, she tapped a kinship based on interior terror and ravaged spirit." 515:"People tell me my unplanned oblivion was a tragedy. ... But I say no. Save that word for human suffering, for wars that kill innocent people, for the devastation of the poor and unwanted, for the corruption and cruelty that cause these things in the world. Mine is no tragedy. If art could relieve misery, I'd gladly sacrifice it." 137:"Camelita Maracci, the fiery and brilliantly talented West Coast dancer, who combined ballet and Spanish dance" first performed at the Y. "Maracci mesmerized New Yorkers with her smoldering passion and unique movement style. Here were wonderfully spiraling hands, a spine that arched proudly, and dazzling technical footwork." 219:, which, although impeccably correct, was not classic in style, and Spanish, which was virtuoso in its range but highly unorthodox in form and flavor. She had no wish to perpetuate aesthetic traditions and used only those stock gestures so deeply imbued with emotion as to have become, under her manipulation, original." 429:"Although regarded by her peers as one of the leading dancers in the United States... Maracci shrank from the concert stage after two experiences which devastated her." In 1946 a lone drunken heckler in St. Paul, Minnesota, mocked her three dancers.

She emerged from backstage quite angry, and ordered the curtain pulled down. It terminated the performance, outraged the local theater, and eventually ended the financial backing for her touring shows. The second event concerned the 1951 staging of her choreography 503:"Yes, I was devastated," Maracci admitted. "Agnes can be unbearably cruel.

Simply done with the eloquence of her dancer's art, her idiosyncratic solo designs worked to dazzle audiences. These rare shows were worth the wait, the long lines. Freely she'd chosen from several traditions to create her works of art. From early 85:"I found the atmosphere of the house, comforting. There was always a group of radicals, malcontents, and indigent writers, intermingled with painters and dancers, waiting to be recharged by Carmelita's personality, for she was great fun to be with." 353:. She clearly preferred her intimate solos, alternating with the 'individual voices' of her several dancers, accompanied by a chamber ensemble, rather than a large ballet company with a full orchestra. She refused to dance in a Spain ruled by 50:(1843–1919), a celebrated soprano. Hence the name Carmelita Patti Maracci. "Carmelita was brought up as Spanish."
