It depends how lenient you are with your definition of artist. If you’re going to include those who tap dance at the high school recital, then maybe I am.
I’m okay with having bad dance moves.
It’s funny because a lot of people that know me as a dancer, don’t know that I’m a singer, and a lot of people that know I can sing don’t know I can dance. And so, I feel like at some point I have to show them both and really be able to display it and showcase it, and put that out there.
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.

He doesn’t make it so complicated but just really allows the lyric to come through even though there’s a lot of production going on. I think that’s the key and that’s the magic, it’s making sure that people could still connect with the lyrics while they’re on the dance floor.
I had to learn Odissi dance and it is a very difficult discipline.
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.

I love to dance so much. It’s one of my guilty pleasures in life and my hobby.
People want me to be so full of shame that I used to dance. I would never be ashamed of it. I made a lot of money. I had a good time, and it showed me a lot.

See, I don’t like places where people can’t dance – don’t like clubs or theatres where a bunch of bourgeois people sit around tip, tip, tipping their fingers.

Dancing – that’s really what I do at parties. I dance and I hang out with friends. That’s my partying.

My first dance ever on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ was to ‘Let’s Hear it for the Boy.’
When you dance and move around it creates a different reaction from the audience – they love it.
I was a competitive swimmer as a teenager, only stopping when I got persistent ear infections. Every day was a 6 A.M. start to swim before lessons, then choir or dance classes after.
‘Lakshmi’ is a dance film, a musical that deals with the emotional bond between the guru and his sishya.

Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I’d sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, ‘Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.’ It really made me think about the importance of happy music.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Dance music doesn’t care where you live. It doesn’t care who your friends are. It doesn’t care how much money you make. It doesn’t care if you’re 74 or if you are 24 because… 74 is the new 24!
I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.
When my marriage broke up… I had just put on 45 pounds for my ‘Shall We Dance?’ character. I had to eat 10,000 calories a day just to put on weight while training with Tony Dovolani. I basically stayed in bed for a six-month rotation of depression naps. Dance helped me lose the weight.
Movement is expressive. I’ve never denied that. I don’t think there’s such a thing as abstract dance.
I do 5Rhythms a lot. It’s like dance meditation. You go into a room and there’s a DJ and it’s in the evening, completely sober, and it’s spiritual. You can just move and dance however you want.
I refuse to dance. And I can’t dance anyway. I’m not in a band for that.

Dance is the hidden language of the soul.
A good dancer is not necessarily defined by great technique, skill, or ability to pick up choreography but by confidence. When you feel the music, it penetrates to your soul. Everybody’s a dancer. The greatest dancer is someone who is willing to dance, not afraid.
Coming from dance, I feel acting is – I’m not going to say easy, because it’s not. But the dance world is more hard-core.
We’ve always wanted to do it, something you could dance to, and deep down we always thought we could bring something to the table if we could do it, but the live shows always made us pull back and be a rock band.
I think it’s a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.
I use something that is a real staple in the directing world. It’s called a dance floor. You lay it down so that it’s so smooth you can roll around, and you can put furniture on top of it. It’s seamless and you don’t see it.
I have to be able to have music at all times – to shower to, to listen to, to warm up, to dance.

Musical shows are really popular because there are lots of talented kids out there that can sing and dance.
The best pop music is the songs that a group of people can dance to, but you can also listen to in your bed and cry. That’s something obviously that The Beatles started and… so having that darkness there opens another door.

Here’s the thing, back in the day, a lot of guys would make fun of me, that I would sing and dance, that I was a cheerleader. But I kept my head on straight. I had goals.
