I do believe God inspired and worked on everyone's heart.

For me, a dancer is part of an artist’s entertainment - “backup dancer” isn’t even in my vocabulary.

'Saturday Night Fever,' Paula Abdul, 'Fame,' Debbie Allen... all affected me and the generation before me.

I'm a tough coach, but on the other side of that is me telling them to go all out, "because you're great, because I don't want you to fail, because you were born to do this and you have a dream."

Everyone has the notion that hip-hop is messy and loose, but there's also another level to it.

Artist development is something that I've been passionate about from my days at Uptown and Motown Records.

I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.
