"My favorite song to dance to is Die Antwoord’s ‘Happy Go Sucky Fucky’ because the whole song is saying ‘fuck your rules’; and dance for me was always something I was told I wasn’t allowed to do. According to people in the dance world, I wasn’t “good”. No one wanted to teach me, so didn’t dance for a long time. But then when I started to dance, it was for me. And I feel like that’s what dance is supposed to be about- about whatever you want it to be about-- fuck the rules, because there are so many....Everyone has a body, everyone can dance. And I think we get caught up in telling people HOW they should dance, WHO should dance, who SHOULDN’T dance, how you’re supposed to dance with other people...and fuck it! Do what you want!”
