Dance Mogul: Can you give us, a glimpse of life on the road as a dancer?

Antoine Frost Troupe: Well rehearsals where two weeks prior to the start of the tour. A lot of work. We had to learn an hour show in a couple of weeks. Every day we where learning and staging choreography. The boys rehearsed with us, every day except for one weekend when they had to go to London for a show. Mindless are some really cool kids. They work hard and don't act like they’re too good at all. They’re all pretty funny, actually. After rehearsals with us, they’d go to vocal training. So they basically where in rehearsals ALL day every day. One thing that’s very important when rehearsing for a tour is focus,. We all are a team working together to put together an amazing show. There is no artist, choreographer, dancers we are a team.

Dance Mogul: Are they strict about going out, like drinking and hanging out?

Antoine Frost Troupe: Downtime is downtime, but when it's time to work that’s all where focus,ed on. I don't drink or smoke anyway. They’re strict about being where you need to be when you need to be there. There are fines for being late, but none of us, have had a problem with that. This is a very professional cast.

Dance Mogul: As a dancer do you think about what's next or do you justt,t enjoy the moment?

Antoine Frost Troupe: I try to find a happy medium between both. I don't want to think so far ahead that I’m not enjoying every second of this opportunity, but at the same time as a dancer everything should be geared towards maintaining work. Tours, Commercials, Mus,ic videos etc.. are all really fun, but they aren’t vacation, We have a job to do and if we want to continue to work then we have to do an amazing job. People have to like working with you. In this bus,ness people want people who are reliable and deliver.

Dance Mogul: If you wanted to help a 13-year-old who was real serious, and had the potential to get to where you are now, what information could you give them?

Antoine Frost Troupe: Don’t look to cut the time in half. That’s the best advice to give someone. Work harder than the others around you and never doubt yourself, we all are capable of great things. Also be personable. Know how to talk to people and make your connections. Don’t be desperate and have respect for yourself. A lot of dancers respect the “famous,” dancers more than they respect themselves. If you want people to respect you never approach them as if they are bigger than you. They’ll put you in the “fan” zone and there is no returning from there.

Dance Mogul: Thank you for your time.
