People Come To See Beauty, And I

I'm Moved By Contraries, By Opposites, The Strength That Was My Mother's Eyes, The Beauty Of My Father's Hands.

One You've Danced, You Always Dance.

I Can't Really Hear The Audience Applause When I'm On Stage. I'm Totally Immersed In The Piece. But Sometimes I Get A Lot Of It And Wonder, "now, Why Did They Applaud Here?" If It's A White Crowd, They Usually Applaud Because They Think It's A Pretty Movement. If It's A Black Crowd, It's Usually Because They Identify With The Message.

The First Time I Started Choreographing Was In The Dark, In My Living Room, With The Lights Completely Out, To Some Popular Music On The Radio. I Put The Radio On Full Blast And I Started Moving. I Didn't Know What It Looked Like. I Didn't Want To See It... I Had To Start In The Dark.

Dancing Is A Gift. You Are Supposed To Do It; It's Like Breathing.
