Well, I am always learning, really. It's a never-ending process. I always had a flare for dance and acrobatic-type movement. From the time I was about three years old, I would copy it just by watching not having had any lessons. I would often get asked if I was in gymnastics or dance or anything like that and people were surprised to hear I hadn't had any formal training. I did diving, followed by cheerleading and martial arts before I finally enrolled in a formal dance class. Though I was fourteen when I started, I had an advantage over your typical late starter because of my background. I wasn't new to combining athletics and artistry and wasn't new to movement to music or things requiring physical strength and intricate coordination or anything like that. It was more of just a stylistic adjustment for me, and a difficult one at times just because it is so like what I did in the past yet so different (if you can appreciate that), but I am always up for such physical challenges and it was always a dream to be a professional athlete, an artist, and a musician and perform for people - and since dance was all those things in one, it was a perfect match for me, and I maintain the belief that dance found me rather than me it. and right now I am about to begin my professional career and I am very excited about that.

I love dancing since I was in grade three in elementary and my first dance routine was choreographed by me. We danced it on a program in our school, even the steps that we join in a dance contest was made by me and we won. I have passion in dancing. Until now,I'm doing my dance routine as an exercise.

As far as I remember and what I see in photos, I think I learned to dance at age three or four. My relatives always like to make fun of me because I am the youngest among my cousins. They like to make me dance. I was a sort of toy doll to them.

I was 3 I beleive. I started out with the basics ballet, tap dancing, jazz stuff like that. Over the years got into the more advanced classes and have brodened my horizons on different types and styles of dancing. I can dance to anything now. Well if I had a good back to do so. But hey I can still slow dance but really have to be careful cause of this back injury. Wish I could do more but hopefully I can go back to dancing as soon as I am better.
