I grew up dancing salsa - you know, a traditional Puerto Rican dance.

I love dancing and practiced ballet for ten years until I realized I wouldn't make it professionally - then I started taking salsa classes. I learned to dance samba in Rio and Salvador when I lived in Brazil.

I started performing very young as a salsa dancer, and every time I was on that stage dancing, all I knew was that I wanted to speak. I wanted the music to stop, and I wanted to speak.

I spent my last year of high school in Latin America, and there's a edge of salsa under all of my rhythms.

I grew up in a big ol' Latin family, so that's all the music we used to play - salsa music. We'd always dance and have fun. You know how families get down, man! We just had fun with it.

I started salsa dancing with a few different companies and started touring the country. It was fantastic, but I realized that I really wanted to talk every time we were performing. That's a problem because when you're dancing, if you stop to talk, that's not really cool to the other dancers.

I was a kid watching music videos, which were so cool and made me want to learn how to dance. I wish I could've gone to dance classes and learn, like, hip-hop dancing.

I did a lot of dancing when I was young.

I am learning how to dance hip-hop. I'm a good dancer when I dance salsa.

When I was young, my mom realized I could dance and hold a beat, and I really danced just for fun. It was good exercise.
