My first vocation was dance.
I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
There was always dance in opera until people forgot to keep it going.
For ballet dancers, style is about melding personal expression with physical form.
I like dramatic ballets, particularly if they're ballets in which I have a chance to go from one extreme of style or characterization to another.
If I was strictly an artist, I'd have to learn to dance and get a shiny suit and stuff.
Tap dancing is something I love, and I've been working on it to get really good.
It's one of my strongest dance pieces - having just done Play Without Words which was veering away from a lot of dance - I thought it would be nice to go back to something with almost the most dance I'd done.
My dancing is Hawaiian-inspired but I also get a little fresh when it comes to my faster songs.
I'm a dancer, I'm an entertainer.
I do a lot of dance classes in my spare time. I'm a dancer at heart.
I still study dance, and it's definitely something I want to incorporate in the future. It's always been my first love.
I really have a new-found respect for dancers.
My work is my way of expressing myself without being arrested.
Who a dancer is physically feeds into character for me. Always has.
I'm trying to create ballets that I would enjoy seeing.
For me, the importance in learning about the dance is using it as a voice. It's not about a step, it's about a way to express oneself.
We always try to make up a new signature dance for our songs.
I can dance to just about anything.
