Savion Glover

My style is raw; my style is '95. My style is what I live. My style is my story.

I don't like being too serious. I'm the type of person that, if the mike isn't in the right place when I go on, I just move it. Other people, they'll be all frantic. I'm more relaxed.

I want to entertain, but I'm interested in a whole range of feelings.

Who is Savion Glover? Who is that guy? Good question. I'm a lot of things... Intense... Focused.

I like to be around dancers who are totally committed to the art form, totally committed to the men and women around them.

Jimmy Slyde was more a musician than a dancer; Greg Hines was more musician than dancer.

I'm more a percussion instrument than a dancer.

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.

I was a drummer in a group called Three Plus. We were performing at a club in New York, and my mother signed me up for tap classes. I fell in love from the door... so you can blame it on my mother.

I love riding my ATV 450.

I wake up, and I'm in the zone... My performance is the continuation of my life.

Tap is still the central driving force of my life. I think and talk in dance.
