My dancing is not an attempt to interpret life in the literary sense. It is an affirmation of life through movement.
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.
My dad was a third-generation printer and linotype operator, by all accounts a fabulous ballroom dancer. He was jettisoned from the family before I was 2, and I have never met him and have no memory of him.
There's never been a time when there hasn't been ritualistic dancing, and I think clubbing is our modern incarnation of that.
The dancer of the future will be one whose body & soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of the soul will have become the movement of the body.
The main thing is dancing, and before it withers away from my body, I will keep dancing till the last moment, the last drop.
Dance is the stepchild of the arts.
