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.
I am thankful that 'Jhalak' made me a professional dancer now from just a 'barat' dancer.
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'm not a professional dancer.
I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.
I wanted to be a professional dancer my whole life.
I know I'm never going to be a professional ballroom dancer.
I have been a professional dancer and athlete my entire life.
I like to say, 'Once a dancer, always a dancer.' In everything - the way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk, the way you sit - everything is just, you've been trained a certain way your whole life, so it's a bit muscle memory.
Seeing 'Revelations' made me want to be a professional dancer.
As a dancer, you get trained to carry on no matter what happens. You have to stay professional.
There's nothing comparable to as 'in shape' as a professional dancer. You'd have to train eight hours a day for that.
As soon as I started dancing at 14, I knew I was always going to be a professional dancer.
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.
I am a professional dancer, so picking up dance steps was like brushing my teeth.
I wanted to be a professional dancer for a period of time, and I did a lot of dancing and choreography and got paid for it.
