If Fred Astaire Is The Cary Grant

If I Played A Tough Kid On The Street I Couldn't Go Out There And Get Into Fifth Position. I Had To Dance Like A Tough Kid On The Street.

I Got Started Dancing Because I Knew It Was One Way To Meet Girls.

First Of All, Break-dancing Has Been Done For Years, Though Not All Of It Put Together The Way It Is Now. But, Actually, The Distinctions Have Been Blurring Since The 1950s.

It Fit Into My Scheme Of Things For Many Reasons. At The Time It Was True That Male Dancers Were Looked Down Upon, And It Was True That A Lot Of The Male Dancers Were Effeminate. But What I Was Really Trying To Do Was Develop Something That Would Be American.

I Don't Understand The Whole Concept Of Doubles. They Used To Do That In The Early Sound Films In Hollywood, But I Thought We Had Gotten Rid Of That. Now Not Only Do You Have Doubles, But As In Flashdance, You Have Triples, Quadruples. From My Point Of View It Is Bad For The Art.
