Quotes

“My first inspiration was Usher — Everything he did always seemed effortless, I started gliding everywhere I went, always practicing the moves from his music videos. I can still see some of his style in my choreography today.”

“When I’m choreographing, it’s all about feeling and connecting to the music.”

“I’m a bit of a perfectionist so I like to keep working on a piece until it really feels right.”

“I was coming out to LA and just hoping that I didn’t starve or end up homeless, that was my main goal. If I booked a dance job along the way, that was icing on the cake.”

I’ve realized the most important thing is maintaining your passion for what you’re doing. If it starts to be about the views, you will fall out of love with dance.”

“Dance is something that brings people together — I might not be able to speak the language, but when I teach in China and I see people smiling learning the movement I know that they understand me.”

“There’s such an appreciation among dancers for each others styles, and it’s something that you can do at any age.”

“My goal right now is to make dance, and my style of hip hop, as available as possible to people that want to learn it.”

“Hip Hop is so much about confidence that even when the technique isn’t perfect you can still capture your audience with the right facial expressions & body language.”
