"I've been blessed to have mentored a lot of dancers. A lot of dancers that I have trained are now touring with Chris Brown, Beyoncé, they've toured with Rihanna. Just knowing what it takes [to succeed in this industry], the consistency [it requires] and all of these things that it takes to actually make it happen, I was able to segue into developing and giving that to other people."

Choreographer Kolanie Marks also discussed maintaining the boundaries of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kid. He noted,

"That's something I don't talk to her about. I keep it very strictly based off of what we focus on, which is the dancing."

He also explained:

"I totally forgot who she is in that moment, because that's not what we focus on when we're training. I wanted to give her praise, of just the hard work and dedication that she puts in."
