“It was great mixing dance beats with the choir. The reaction of the classically trained choir when asked to sing on top of dance beats was great.”

“For me it's important to make great dance songs, growing up as a dancer. You know, not only just getting lost in the beat but getting lost in the lyrics whether it’s about having a great time or having lyrics with more of a purposeful meaning.”

“Leave not thy nest, thy dam and sire,
Fly back and sing amidst this choir.”

“I may be preaching to the choir, but the choir needs a good song.”

“You must walk to the beat of a different drummer. The same beat that the wealthy hear. If the beat sounds normal, evacuate the dance floor immediately! The goal is to not be normal, because as my radio listeners know, normal is broke.”

““Mani Madhava Chakyar was the personification of all the greatness of this rich Indian classical art tradition”
- Kapila Vatsyayan (leading scholar of classical Indian dance), 1990”

“Disco dancing is really dancing for people who hate dancing, since the beat is so monotonous that only the champions can find interesting ways of reacting to it. There is no syncopation, just the steady thump of a giant moron knocking in an endless nail.”

“When the rest of the congregation rose at the entrance of the choir he kept his seat. He argued that rising to one's feet at such a time tended to make the choir-boys conceited.”

“Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.”

“When I die I'm going to dance first in all the galaxies… I'm gonna play and dance and sing.”
