I was in Studio 54 one time; it was great. But I'm not a discotheque guy. Sometimes, if I had a new demo, I went to some discotheques to check it out - see how the reactions of the people were. But just to dance, I rarely did that.
The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.
When you go to a club it's not about being black or white or heavy or thick. I'm shaking my ass because I want to shake my ass, not 'cause "I'm dancing like a black girl!"
I wasn't out drinking and abusing my body. I simply loved to go out and dance.
When you're out dancing with your friends, you think you're cool. But then you get in the ballroom, and it's totally different.
The whole reason to make a solo album is to express what you can't express with the B-52s. The B's are so much about fun and partying and dancing.
I love dancing in general and making girls dance. My generation doesn't do it enough.
I loved to dance and went to Studio 54 at least twice a week. But I always felt nervous around the people there. I was in awe of that whole Halston-Liza Minnelli crowd. To me, they were the real celebrities, and I was just a girl from Idaho.
I've wasted the last five years of my life dealing in religious articles. People today find spiritual solace in ballroom dancing.
I was raised in a really terrific, close family, and I've never needed to escape anything or to really let myself go by dancing on tables.
He [Gene Kelly] once told me dancing was a man's game, as much of a sport as baseball itself. And he made us believe that. He changed our minds and suddenly, all of America wanted to dance just like Gene Kelly.
