I've come to realize that people dance for reasons of their own.
Savion Glover
I used to think I could save tap. But tap was here way before I was, and it's going to be here after I'm gone.
Savion Glover
I was very happy with the success of 'Noise/Funk,' but of course, there is a lot more that I have to say about the dance, about the history, about the people involved with the dance and their history.
Savion Glover
I actually wanted to be a fireman when I was younger.
Savion Glover
I like to express myself inside of the work that is given, and I let the dancers do the same.
Savion Glover
Movie making is such a long process, and they only use that one take, although you do it over and over about 30 times. Live theatre is that one time and one time only.
Savion Glover
They all come from the street - tap, jazz and flamenco. And the streets are always changing. If it comes from the streets, change is the only thing that's consistent.
Savion Glover
There are people who take tap class, do a tap dance. And then there are people who know the dance, who know why they take tap classes. Who know why they do 20 shuffles, or 50 shuffles, before they go on.
Savion Glover
I used to think I had this responsibility to carry on this tradition. Now I just feel like I have to keep the dance out there, keep it in the public eye.
Savion Glover
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.
Savion Glover
The sound of tap is not 'clickety clickety tap tap,' this monotone thing. The sound of tap has depth. We want you to hear the different highs and lows, the bass, the trebles and the melodies, if you can.
Savion Glover
My mom always had me and my brother watching old Fred Astaire movies.
Savion Glover
My style is raw; my style is '95. My style is what I live. My style is my story.
Savion Glover
I can hold a note, but that's about it.
Savion Glover
Just like a comedian has a certain joke or a jazz musician has a riff that they know will get the crowd, a tap dancer always has a step.
Savion Glover
I can produce any instrument, any sound that I can imagine; it may be percussive to the audience, but in my mind it may be a piano, a melody, or a tuba, or a harp, or a harmonica. My mission is to allow people to hear the dance in its purity and up against any other type of sound or music.
Savion Glover
I don't really care what the visual is looking like. I've gotten away from - not shenanigans, but spectacle.
Savion Glover
What we're looking for at my school is intellectuals. People who want to talk about the art and be knowledgeable about it. People who want to know the history. Not everybody needs to be performing.
Savion Glover
I don't deal in terminology, I deal with expressions: colors, shapes, tones, characteristics.
Savion Glover
You can go to see a singer and love the show, but you don't need to know all the songs. What you want to do when you leave is go and find out more about the music.
