“I was literally the only guy in the county trying to dance publicly,” tWitch said. “It was tough. But what helped me a lot though was that headstrong mentality that you have when you’re a teenager.” “I took tWitch when I was about 20-years-old,” he said, “because that was when I first started dancing, going places and teaching dance, and a lot of my dance knowledge and a lot of my dance thoughts took place in that car, driving from place to place. Whether it was to Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Bessemer, Birmingham, whatever, I’d choreograph in the car.”

He reminisced how even hard-edged rappers like Public Enemy and Big Daddy Kane had dancers back then. “Nobody looked at it like, ‘Uh, I don’t know about that.’ That was kind of how you rocked the party, you know? That’s the age that I came up in.”
