We're the only dance in town. We don't compete with any professional teams for the entertainment dollar.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is not a lot of money in competition dancing. There never has been; it's all about winning the trophies, really. It's not like golf.
It never occurred to me that I'd have a dance company.
We've had nothing but support from everybody in the dance world for a National Dance Day.
The world is full of ways for people to dance. Concert dance doesn't get its due.
Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.
I see dance as glue for a community.
I don't dance like I used to, but I'm moving and I'll be doing my form of dance at Town Hall... I hit my limitations but I learn to work with what I've got.
There are very few dance companies in the world and you have to be phenomenal. You have to not be injured. You have to have a really strong mind to deal with the dance world. People who can do it are amazing to me. You cannot have a life outside of dance.
The energy that comes when you compel people to dance stays with you your whole career - whether you are playing to 100,000 people at Glastonbury or 1,000 kids in a club.
We don't dance because we can't dance. Our shows, production-wise, are always quite minimal. We always try and keep it more about us having fun and stay away from gimmicks.
