I'm ticking things off my list: I had a tumor removed; I had spinal surgery; I had four surgeries in three months.
I wish anytime I went into a nice restaurant and asked for a table, they said, 'Well I'm sure you don't want one in the corner.'
I went to dance class as a girl because I didn't like sports, but I never did a dance recital in my life. Never, ever, ever. I felt comfortable dancing, and I was happiest dancing, but I was never the best person in the class.
I will always have pain. But I exercise as much as I can, and I find that makes a huge difference. And if my body does seize up, I have a pain plan in place. If it escalates, I go back to my doctor.
I wasn't a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who'd never done any Latin dance. I'd taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I'd never done a dance audition.
I would love to work with my dad! We've never done anything live together. I'm always open to working with talented people, and I think my dad certainly qualifies.
I would love to do a little ballroom dancing with my husband... He and I can take a couple classes together. It would be a lot of fun!
When I try to be perfect, it makes me not have fun.
When you're in a relationship you really care about, you want to protect it and not talk about it.
Unfortunately, the people I end up seeing the least are my girlfriends.
Dance is the only thing that makes me feel good.
The cancer I had is not at all equal to other people's cancer. I've never had to have chemotherapy; I haven't had to have a mastectomy.
It's very hard to balance being there for somebody else and taking care of yourself.
Skinny Cow ice cream and candy - like dancing - brings a little bit of fun to your day.
