We don't vogue, we are 'Vogue'.
In the dance world, it has to be in your genetic make-up - your body has to suit the training.
At the time the quickest way to establish yourself as an American was to throw a little bit of tap into your dance - even when it wasn't called for. But what also helped me was the fact that I was dancing in roles that I had played.
Disco is just jitterbug.
I'm an excellent dancer. I keep up with whatever's hot. I've been break-dancing and pop-locking since back in the day.
Dance has been a driving force in my life for 25 years. From music videos and hip hop, to jazz and musical theater, to ballet and classic modern dance, I have had extensive exposure to a variety of techniques that inspire my own electric style.
West Side Story was terribly important because of the style of the dancing and the gangs of New York.
One of the things that made Bob so unique and wonderful is that he had a genuine style, like Balanchine, like de Mille.

Everyone is unique to the way that they dance in New Orleans.
Ma'am, I'm not tryin' to be sexy. Ah didn't have any clear idea of trying to sell sex. It's just my way of expressin' how I feel when I move around. It's all leg movement. I don't do nothin' with my body.
