My mother was very keen I learn dance and I learnt so many forms.
I wanted to do dance with the same seriousness as art was done and acknowledged, not with the entertainment factor that is always connected to theater and film.
I majored in dance in college.
There's nobody knows more about dancing and choreography than Arlene Phillips, ever.
You know I very much respect Yvonne Rainer, she is very important - in American dance, the entire development of modern dance, and creating a wonderful physical language.
The Royal Academy of Dance is an institution that trains to a very high standard.
I grew up studying dance, taking ballet lessons.
I've been in continuing education programs since taking my dance master's exam at age 21.
Movement is expressive. I've never denied that. I don't think there's such a thing as abstract dance.
I had trained a bit in Bharatanatyam in the past but did not learn in depth. The same goes with jazz, western, and cinematic dance, as I was quite laid back with the training.
All the dancer's gestures are signs of things, and the dance called rational, because it aptly signifies and displays something over and above the pleasure of the senses.
If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching, teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines, so teaching is really important and very necessary.
I'm the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social.
I don't have dance history or background.
I go through phases of watching a ton of dance/performance, and I am bizarrely well-informed on the subject.
I studied dance for about 15 years, various disciplines, with classical ballet as my primary.
A good dancer is an educated one, so don't abandon school.
