I hope the girls see me as a role model in that way. I’ve never had the typical dancer’s body, but I can dance.

I’ve been dancing around since I was a baby. When I am sitting around, I’m always dancing in my mind.

I didn’t have a job when I graduated, and I moved back in with my parents. I was miserable. I was putting resumes out left and right, and I didn’t hear anything.

Dancing is something I’ve been doing for so long that it has become a part of me. Dance is in my heart.
