I was ballet dancing at four, playing piano by six, and doing commercials by 12. When I was 21, I was on the number one live comedy show in Puerto Rico. I told my parents, 'I'm going to New York to become a performer.' And I left.

I started taking ballet lessons when I was three and a half and I still take dance classes.

Up until I was about 12, I was a ballet dancer and a basketball player.

I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

My career as an actor started when I was six years old, taking dancing lessons. Then I started getting paid jobs to dance at the age of seven.

I was sent to ballet classes when I was a little girl. I wasn't very good, but it's that thing where little girls always try ballet, or whatever.

I've danced since I was 5 and went to the School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center at 7.

I grew up studying dance, taking ballet lessons.

I started working on stage as a dancer when I was four; by 14 or 15, I knew I wanted to study the craft of acting.

When I was 16, I moved to Torrance, California to train at a more advanced studio, and by 19, I joined the American Ballet Theatre in New York. It all happened so fast - it was pretty unheard of that someone could train for so few years and become a professional at one of the most elite dance companies in the United States.
