I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

I did ballet and gymnastics, and then I started acting when I was eight - just doing amateur theater at a place called Oldham Theatre Workshop in my hometown.

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

When I was a dancer, I was acting.

I also loved musicals because I was a dancer.

I did community theater in Georgia and called myself a ballet dancer.

I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.

I was introduced to theater by a teacher that found me when I was in elementary school. She tested me for the Gifted and Talented program, started taking me to see the 'Nutcracker Ballet.' I got involved.

I was always an actor, starting in middle school. I was in all the plays and all that. But dancing didn't come into my life until late into high school.

I actually got started in acting when I was in pre-school. I was really into dance and performing, so my mom had me in dance classes, and then I got involved in a local theater company.
