Dancing: What is the role and relevance of movement for you as a singer?

I love this question! Dancing has allowed me to draw in the air what I want to sing.

It’s my partner in the melodic structure of what comes out in a split second.

Rehearsing to be in concert with everyone else — which you have to do or it’s mass insanity — and knowing exactly where your heads going to be, where you’ll stand, how to move out of someone’s way … I considered myself a very awkward person.

It took a long time to learn control, my angles, and where to be. It took a lot of work, but it’s become comfortable.

When I’m in a place where my body’s not learning choreography, a place where melodies move, my body feels like I’m floating.

I’m not aware of my body, the angles, or how it looks. I just breathe into the movement and sing.
