I try new stuff every time I perform. I have steps I do that I know are definite, and stuff I can make up right then and there and then forget. Savion Glover definiteforgetmake Change image and share on social
I am realizing and accepting my role as a tap dancer in this world is not only to tap dance for the sake of performance, but through tap dance be able to share and spread a message and congregate with people I would not necessarily be with had it not been for dance.

There's a tendency to think tap's had its day, but 'Happy Feet' kept us in the race. That penguin is our Shirley Temple. Savion Glover dayfoothappy Change image and share on social
I want tap to be something danced in arenas. Sort of like a rock group. Other art forms happen every night. Take theater, opera; there's always opera happening every night. Savion Glover arenaartdance Change image and share on social
Every now and then, someone comes along - we used to call it 'New Jack' - tries to do something new, tries to take all the credit, without acknowledging the past. Savion Glover acknowledgecallcredit Change image and share on social
It's as if my left heel is my bass drum and my right heel is the floor tom-tom. I can get snare out of my right toe by not putting it down on the floor hard, and, if I want cymbals, I land flat on both feet, full strength on the floor. Savion Glover bascymbaldrum share on social
I'm happy that people think of me as the greatest tap-dancer that ever lived. But it's just a rumor. Because the greatest dancer that ever lived knows everything, and I don't. I'm still learning. I still have a lot of work to do. Savion Glover dancergreathappy share on social
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. Savion Glover blamecallclass Change image and share on social
What does genius mean? God has put us here specifically... every person has a job or journey to do. It's just a matter of finding what we're here to fulfill or execute. That's genius to me. Savion Glover executefindfulfill Change image and share on social
I want to share what I have, and I'd rather share it with people that are a little bit more open-minded. Savion Glover bitemindopen Change image and share on social
