"As I grew up at the studio, which is called The Studio, it became very much my home away from home. Dance itself and the people there gave me life and gave me passion, and I credit it for helping me find who I am as a person. For me, dance is so embedded in who I am as a person and it has helped me find myself. Dancing professionally was never really a question of doing it or not; it was just something I knew I had to do."
