Brian Stokes Mitchell Quotes

Dance is a great way to express yourself.

Dance was something that came to me before I could even walk or talk.

I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.

Dance is communication, and so the great challenge is to speak clearly, beautifully and with inevitability.
