I am a professional dancer, so picking up dance steps was like brushing my teeth.
I wouldn't say that I am one of the greatest dancers, but I am really quite good at what I do.
You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.
Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.
dance is simply the refinement of human movement - walking, running, and jumping. We are all experts. There should be no art form more accessible than dance, yet no art is more mystifying in the public imagination.
I'm very smart when it comes to choosing dancers and trying to show the world that there's a whole lot of dancing going on.
I was partnered with the singer Drew Lachey of the popular group 98 Degrees. Drew and I complemented each other with our strengths. I was good at dancing and teaching dance, and he was a good student and a natural-born ham for the cameras.
There's nobody knows more about dancing and choreography than Arlene Phillips, ever.
I was associated with Shaimak Davar for three and a half years and learnt a lot from him.
My old dance teacher, Jimmy Wilde, a former European ballroom dancing champion, was so sophisticated.
People often say to me, 'I don't know anything about dance.' I say, 'Stop. You got up this morning, and you're walking. You are an expert.'
I'm not an egomaniac like a lot of people say. But I am the world's best dancer, that's for sure.
I'm always very nervous about the word 'dancer' next to my name because anyone who's really trained in dance will go, 'This guy's fudging so badly.'
I have the most respect for Zach Woodlee. He is one of my favorite - and one of the most capable - choreographers out there right now.
It's not an easy task to match Charan. He is really a good dancer, and he comes straight to the sets without rehearsals.
I can take a beginner kid that has never danced in their lives, and I can teach them something, or I can take a really advanced dancer, and I can make them into a professional.
What guarantees - or at least semi-guarantees - good ballets is good choreographers, and they are thin on the ground.
Conrad Ludlow was an extraordinary partner... We just called him the greatest partner because he just knew what a woman's balance was.
Smooth iceis paradisefor those who dance with expertise.
