I can hold a note, but that's about it.

Just like a comedian has a certain joke or a jazz musician has a riff that they know will get the crowd, a tap dancer always has a step.

From Savion Glover

I can produce any instrument, any sound that I can imagine; it may be percussive to the audience, but in my mind it may be a piano, a melody, or a tuba, or a harp, or a harmonica. My mission is to allow people to hear the dance in its purity and up against any other type of sound or music.

From Savion Glover

I don't really care what the visual is looking like. I've gotten away from - not shenanigans, but spectacle.

From Savion Glover

What we're looking for at my school is intellectuals. People who want to talk about the art and be knowledgeable about it. People who want to know the history. Not everybody needs to be performing.

From Savion Glover

For me, the importance in learning about the dance is using it as a voice. It's not about a step, it's about a way to express oneself.

From Savion Glover

I don't deal in terminology, I deal with expressions: colors, shapes, tones, characteristics.

From Savion Glover

You can go to see a singer and love the show, but you don't need to know all the songs. What you want to do when you leave is go and find out more about the music.

From Savion Glover

I'm committed to the purity of my art form.

From Savion Glover

The spirituality of the dance, that's something that's evolved for me in the past ten years or so. I'm still trying to figure out where that's taking me.
