When I was a dancer, I was acting.

I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.

I was dancing on Broadway for many years. Then everyone was either getting injured or retiring, and I was dancing with younger dancers.

I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.

I was heavily involved in musical theater.

I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.

I was a professional ballerina. After becoming an actress, I did a lot of theater, which included musical theater. The first musical play I did was Murray Schisgal's 'The Pushcart Peddlers.'
