What I'm trying to do is bring young people into doing tap so that the art form will keep going.

I've tried to help a lot of young artists get started.
That's what you want art to do, to open people up and start conversations.
Kids are naturally gifted at art from a very young age. The problem is when they get older and become self-conscious. The process should always be fun, though.
It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on.
All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.
I want tap to be something danced in arenas. Sort of like a rock group. Other art forms happen every night. Take theater, opera; there's always opera happening every night.
Encourage your kids' artistic side. Toughen up everything else.
I make art primarily for myself and to show my friends, so I guess it's important to make art that they can connect to.
Art is about going a little nuts... Kids do art for fun. It's playing.
One of the things I want to do as an artist is to connect generations.
