"I like to live in angles. So, anything that I do, I specifically make sure that either my angles are clean or it’s gonna stop in a particular shape. "
- Archie Burnett

"The rougher you are when you were a little kid, the better you are when it comes to moving on the floor."
- William "Quick" Reynolds

"Dance is not just moving your body. It’s bringing your inner spirit out and letting everybody else enjoy it with you."
- Willi Ninja

"For a lot of us, the club is family. It’s actually life. A lot of us would probably be incarcerated, because we were wild many years ago. So, I think it’s everything that home isn’t."
- Brian "Footwork" Green

"Soulful is just something you feel in your backside, ok? You're not always pulled up, you might just like "owwww," very lax and very limber. You just go with the flow of the music, you just ride the rhythm. "
- Barbara Tucker

"I was always fond of gymnastics. And, me and a couple of my friends, we're like kung fu conoisseurs. We like certain types of film, so what I used to do is to analyze the movements from the martial art films and blend it in to my dance."
- Carlos Sanchez

"You might think you did nothing. But a person looking at it says "Oh, that was nice! That was slick! Let me try that in my dance routine." I credit everybody, even their movement when walkin' down the block."
- Omar "Kash" Kashim Henry

"House is some freedom dancing, that’s what it really is."
- Ejoe Wilson

"If you take a professional dancer to a club and watch him dance he’s really funny, because he’s used to 5-6-7-8. Where as us, we’re goin’ in and we just tear out."
- Willy Pinedo

"The reason I came for this project is: I love to dance, I know this is a history thing, and basically, I did it for my kids. When they grow old and have their kids, they can say, "Yeah, my father was here and he made history. And he's gonna be here and there in the museum pieces.""
- Conrad Rochester
