You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.
I can tell by the way somebody walks if they can dance or not. Just by the rhythm.
We were tap-dancers but we put more style into it, more bodywork, instead of just footwork.
I love movin'. I was observant growing up, watching Michael Jackson and John Travolta. I'd close my eyes, see the moves.
How you go about moving within the world you live in says so much about who you are.
Twerking is just limited to a certain, specific dance where it's hand on the knees and you're busting open. With bounce music, we do a whole lot more and everyone is so unique in the way that they move and their personality.
Everyone tries to get you to dance at clubs. They come up to you and say "You gotta dance! you gotta dance!" And then I dance, and they're like, "Not like that!"
I'm athletic but in a dancer way.
I'd love to dance with grace and style, to move as easily as I write.
I walk like a duck: very straight up and down. Or like a penguin. It's a dead giveaway that I'm a dancer.
Dancers carry themselves in completely different ways to how we do in our everyday lives. They are very free with their bodies which I'm not used too.
I always like to start with a great pair of shoes. It's your first contact with the ground, and it can really change the way you move and act physically.
