The process of rehearsal means you learn so much and really get the chance to develop your work on a character.
From Adam Garcia
My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, 'I think your girlfriend's gorgeous, but it's all right, I'm gay.' They get very nervous after a few minutes!
I started with ballet and then my cousin Sarah introduced me to her tap teachers.
I started tapping and I was okay. Then after about two years my feet knew what they were doing!
At 15 I auditioned for 42nd Street in Australia. Dein Perry was in that show. I actually got the job but I couldn't do it because I was only 15. Legally I needed to have another 15-year-old to cover consecutive nights.
I think 'Tap Dogs' has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing. This form of dancing can't be dated, it's such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.
Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.
They think my life is glamourous. It's not true. I obviously get to come in and do radio interviews. That's the glamour. But other than that, I eat and sleep and that's it. Eat, sleep and do shows.
It's always fun teasing the person. When they ask if I'm gay, I say, 'Oh, I don't know.'
I don't care if people think I'm gay. I know I'm not, so it doesn't bother me.
