Aside from singing, I'm also a dancer. I've been dancing since I was 8.
I did ballet at the Menlo Park Academy of Dance from age 4 to 11, but then I switched to ballroom, and I've been doing that ever since.
I like dancers. I have a thing for girls who dance.
Ideally if I settled down with a wife I would love to form my own troupe of mini dancers!
Until I was in 6th grade, I took ballet, jazz, tap, and hip hop.
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.
I always had my feet in two places when I was doing amateur dance in Seattle.
I was serious about ballet for a long time, but my mom got me into tap and jazz and modern and hip-hop, and I was one of those over-lessoned children.
Now on the other hand, if someone is selling a product, opening a dance studio, or has some other aim to help themselves, then I tend to look askance at some of these strange stories from outer space.
I've tapdanced since I was 11 years old. I always wanted to be a tapdancer, and that's all I ever wanted to be.
I used to do a lot of dancing when I was younger.
It never occurred to me that I'd have a dance company.
I wanted to be a professional dancer for a period of time, and I did a lot of dancing and choreography and got paid for it.
Growing up, I was a dancer. I wanted to be a choreographer.
I was in a competing company and have been dancing since I was four - ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop - so it's a huge part of my life and my music.
Being a competitive dancer is an expensive business - you have to buy the £2,000 or so tail suit and the shoes, and then get yourself around the world to the competitions. And there is not a lot of money to be made in competing.
I always want to have more dancers in my company.
I've actually tried to give Brett Ratner dance lessons, but he thinks he already knows how to.
I did ballet, tap, jazz, modern, I taught dance here in my hometown of St. Louis.
I wanted to be a professional dancer my whole life.
When I was about five, I started dancing - like, tap and ballet - in one little class.
With 'Dance Moms' in L.A., we film on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. When we film in Pittsburgh, we film the same days, but we still dance in our studio when we're not filming, so I'm dancing every day except Sunday.
When I was younger, I used to want to be, like, a back-up dancer, and my mom was like, 'Well, you know, you can do that, but you might want to choose another career.'
I know I'm never going to be a professional ballroom dancer.
My mom is actually a former prima ballerina, and all the women in my family are associated either with dance or choreography or acting, so I'm very lucky in a way because I grew up in a family of artists. I've been dancing since I was a little kid.
