Well, I would say that Shake It Up was a chance for me to do two things I really love: acting and dancing.

Shake It Up definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.

Sometimes when you see things online, it's very consuming.

With anything, you have to approach from an educational, mature standpoint.

I wore that same outfit that the male model over there is wearing. It's inclusive, it feels good and that's what I wanted. I want people to feel good.

We have to build the country that we want to see our future children and grandchildren live in.

I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.
