His INSPIRATION
Blake became interested in dance since the age of 5 when his mother put him into jazz classes. His teachers said that he had unlimited potential and had stuck with it ever since. "It’s always been a part of who I am,” says the ambitious McGrath. He decided to become a professional dancer when he was 16 years old. As soon as he saw Bitney Spears perform "I'm a Slave 4 You" at the Video Music Awards, he knew that that's what he really wanted to do. His main break to becoming a professional dancer was when he went on tour (Onyx Hotel Tour) with Britney. His inspirations/role models in the dance industry are Brian Friedman, Shannon Mather, Gil Duldulao and Mia Michaels. He has always thought of them to be very creative and have a unique sense of style. He believes that all of them make you feel something and admired their knowledge to use dance as a business.
