Where to begin...well, everyone who knows me knows I love Metallica. If you have ever seen one of our shows, you would know that. Love the new music by our own musician, David Kav (check out his page!). U2 has had a big impact on me latly. We dance to it all - Patsy Cline, June Cleavers and the Steak Knives, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Bryan Adams, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Tchaikovsky, Destiny's Child, Yolanda Adams, Peter Grabiel, Daft Punk, Sonique, Buno Sangue, Jingle Cats, Garrison Keller, Emenin, Andrea Bochelli, Donna Summer, Bluprint Foundation, Kraftwerk, and more re-mixes than I can even begin!
Movies
Turning Point - "I need artistic freedom!" oh don't get me started on the quotes...ok...go ahead. If you read this, I'd love to hear your favorite quote from this classic :)
Television
Don't really watch...too busy dancin!
Books
It's sick how many dance books I have, but some of the books that have had the biggest impact on me are not dance books, but artist books - Living In The Light by Shakti Gawain, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, The Artists Way by Julia Camron, and Feerless Living by Rhonda Britten
Heroes
God. Who else do I need to turn to? Plenty of people inspire me, for sure.
