I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.

I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.

You have to be a little crazy to be a dancer.

I get enough sleep. I take very good care of myself. Growing up as a dancer, you know your body so well, you know what to do to overcome something.

My mission is to give girls the tools to be able to blossom into their best selves.

I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

No one can hand you anything as a dancer. You have to earn it.
