The life of a dancer is not for everyone. You really have to have some thick skin. You really have to know what you're going into and how competitive the field is.

Dancing is still, for me, one of those things that no matter when I do it and it sounds corny and cliche, but time stands still. I could literally dance for hours and hours on end and not realize that I've been dancing for hours and hours on end. In the right setting, I could literally dance all day and have a blast. It seems like one moment to me. There's nothing else going on, and it's the ultimate release.

It's been part of my signature to incorporate my humor with my dance, or even just how I'm feeling. If I'm feeling humorous, which I am, most of the day, I tend to incorporate that. If I'm dancing freestyle, if I feel like I've gotten too serious, while I'm moving, I'll think, "All right, it's time to lighten up a little bit," and I do. It just feels good.

Dance is an art, so day by day, it's growing and there are new things that can be done.

With dance, it's about education. I'm teaching a lot. I teach the foundations of hip-hop.

I'm a Gatorade athlete because dance is being recognized as a sport now. It always should have been, but now it is. It's very exciting.

As far as the performance aspect, I'm going to be an actor. I still love performing, but I'm moving into more acting.
