Step Up doesn't have to hide anything. These are actually moves that people do. It just so happens that dancers are superheroes. People think there is a lot of wire work or camera tricks, but that's just not the case.

As far as the performance aspect, I'm going to be an actor. I still love performing, but I'm moving into more acting.

People can stand around and share movement with each other, whether it's professional or not. That's how it grows. That's what dance does. It's its own language.

The life of a dancer is not for everyone. You really have to have some thick skin. You really have to know what you're going into and how competitive the field is.

Dancing is still, for me, one of those things that no matter when I do it and it sounds corny and cliche, but time stands still. I could literally dance for hours and hours on end and not realize that I've been dancing for hours and hours on end. In the right setting, I could literally dance all day and have a blast. It seems like one moment to me. There's nothing else going on, and it's the ultimate release.

Being a fan of dance and a dancer, I love my classic dance movies.

With dance, it's about education. I'm teaching a lot. I teach the foundations of hip-hop.
