You street-dance in a club, you're performing. Whether anybody sees me is a whole other thing. But it doesn't matter, because it fills my void.
Dancing is like - it's another way of communicating, no?
The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing.
Once you see dance as a weapon - and everyone has a different weapon - it makes dance really interesting.
I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.
I'm continuing the educational process of getting people to accept dance as music.
I have always wanted to tell stories. Even as a classical dancer, I revel in telling stories through my dance.
Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.
I couldn't live without music. I experienced things through music in different countries where you cannot speak the same language, but the music and the dance relates everything.
Growing up, I was surrounded by R&B and Hip-Hop, and the closest thing I could find to dance was gymnastics which I watched on TV. So, I just used those avenues I found available right in my milieu to express what was inside of me.
