Being a fan of dance and a dancer, I love my classic dance movies.

I'm a Gatorade athlete because dance is being recognized as a sport now. It always should have been, but now it is. It's very exciting.

The life of a dancer is not for everyone. You really have to have some thick skin. You really have to know what you're going into and how competitive the field is.

Dance removes you from this construct of the world that you have, and it's a conversation that you're having with people. That's how dance grew, as an art form.

Dancing is so physical and so athletic. I think it rings to the boy that is in my soul because you get to run and jump and climb and act as aggressively as you'd like.

Dance is an art, so day by day, it's growing and there are new things that can be done.

People can stand around and share movement with each other, whether it's professional or not. That's how it grows. That's what dance does. It's its own language.

With dance, it's about education. I'm teaching a lot. I teach the foundations of hip-hop.

I feel like I've always been in love with dance. When I was little kid I would always be the one who would be like, okay let's make up some dance routines.

At some point in time, in the future, people are going to refer to the Step Up films as the films they grew up on. Hopefully, that inspires them to get in dance films that are being made.

As far as the performance aspect, I'm going to be an actor. I still love performing, but I'm moving into more acting.

Creation is filled with soul-sick folks, colored and white, never knowing where they belong. They tangle everybody else up in their grief.

Vision helps to direct your focus appropriately.

A group of owls is called a parliament, wisdom, or study.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

A man had better starve at once than lose his innocence in the process of getting his bread.

Anything which elevates the mind is sublime. Greatness of matter, space, power, virtue or beauty, are all sublime.

Hip is the knowledge and Hop is the movement.

It is easy to see that when republican virtue fails, slavery ensues.

You must have your heart on fire and your brain on ice.

I will cause a boy who drives a plow to know more of the scriptures than the pope.
