One You've Danced, You Always Dance.

I Have Been Guilty Of Watching Westerns Without Acknowledging That Native Americans Have Gone Through The Same Madness As African Americans. Isn't It Extraordinary That Sometimes The Most Offended Have Not Seen Others Being Offended?

Dancing Is Being Trusted With Other People's Guts; Choreographing Is Trusting Other People With Yours. When I Choreograph I'm Giving A Dancer Something To Do And Trusting The Dancer To Do It And Build On It.

So Many People Dwell On Negativity And I've Survived By Ignoring It: It Dims Your Light And It's Harder Each Time To Turn The Power Up Again.

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.

If You Look At A Dancer In Silence, His Or Her Body Will Be The Music. If You Turn The Music On, That Body Will Become An Extension Of What You're Hearing.
