I'm actually really shy.

Right before I jumped out of a plane, I knew what Superman felt like.
dancing sick people
I remember the first time I felt that I was sharing the stage with someone spectacular was dancing with Beyonce. It was the dancers, the band, Beyonce and me in front of thousands of people. That was sick. It was pretty amazing that I got to travel the world with someone like her.
school play dancing
I was always an actor, starting in middle school. I was in all the plays and all that. But dancing didn't come into my life until late into high school.

The tour life definitely puts strains on your body, not just because of the dancing but because of the fact that you are traveling into the wee hours of the day, getting up early, going to sound check - just the grueling process of it all.

I've always been a person with patience, and I don't like to force things.
jobs drama school
When I came into the industry I started with acting and I did drama during junior high and high school. I fell into dancing as a hobby, but whenever you need work, you try out different things. So I booked a lot of jobs for dancing and it kept rolling and rolling.

When I'm off the clock, I usually play video games - or do something nature-y so I can contribute to Mother Nature.

Everyone has different talents, different styles and talents.

If I'm home alone, I just dance... it's my own little secret.
