A Quote by Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Before I was an actor I was a break dancer, one of those street performers you see. I guess my introduction into the professional world of performing was a stint as back up dancer for Lionel Richie and I performed at the closing ceremony at the '84 Olympics.

I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

Alex Meraz

I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.

Liza Minnelli

I'm a huge Lionel Richie fan, and sometimes we actually listen to Lionel Richie on the bus.

Matthew Ramsey

Physical expression was my first language: Before I was an actor, I was a dancer, an acrobat, a mime and a street performer.

Denis Lavant

I am thankful that 'Jhalak' made me a professional dancer now from just a 'barat' dancer.

Ashish Sharma

A dancer's life is as peripatetic and unstable as that of an actor's. You're freelancing yourself all the time, and a dancer's lifespan is even shorter than an actor's: once they turn 30 or 35, they have to stop.

Elizabeth Debicki

A good dancer is not necessarily defined by great technique, skill, or ability to pick up choreography but by confidence. When you feel the music, it penetrates to your soul. Everybody's a dancer. The greatest dancer is someone who is willing to dance, not afraid.

Alyssa Edwards

People misconstrue when I say I was a dancer. I was not classically trained. I was a street dancer, and I got to do what I did in the nightclubs of New York City.

Michael K. Williams

I feel like I represent every young dancer, and even non-dancer, who felt they were not accepted by the ballet world. I'd like to think that they can see themselves in me.

Misty Copeland

Forget the dancer, the center of the ego. Become the dance. Then the dancer disappears and only the dance remains. Then the dancer is the dance. There is no dancer separate from dance, no dance separate from the dancer.

Rajneesh

I was a Ukrainian folk dancer in my teens, and I toured the country in 1991, shortly before the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Vera Farmiga

When I say I can see through clothes, sometimes I try to use it as an X-ray vision to look into the dancer and see who this dancer is right now, at this exact moment in time. I live inside them in a way.

Twyla Tharp

I was a dancer, and my father was a dancer, so I really grew up in that environment.

Vincent Cassel

I'm an excellent dancer. I keep up with whatever's hot. I've been break-dancing and pop-locking since back in the day.

Michael Strahan

I realized that 'performing' was what I wanted to do when I did my first professional gig as a dancer with my company 'Synergy' in Canada. I was overwhelmed with how it felt to perform in front of an audience.
