"O'kay so how to become a dancer. Well first you want to go out and try a bunch of different dance classes, try a beginner ballet class, try a beginner jazz class, a beginner tap class, beginner salsa. There are so many different forms and styles of dance so you want to try out a bunch, see what fits for you, what you enjoy doing the most and it could be one style of dance or it could be two or three but pick those one, two or three and go for them and stick with them and start off with a beginning class. I would recommend taking three or four classes a week if you really want to get serious about it and you know dedicating a lot of time. I know when I first started dancing I was, I started as a young age and then as I got a little older I kind of took a little time off and then I went back to ballet class when I was in sixth grade and I sucked, I really did and all the girls my age were way better than me so I took a lot of time when I got home after class and I literally used the rail from my bed as a ballet bar and I sat there for two hours a night just doing ballet exercises, my plias and tonjus and you know strengthening exercises because I wanted to get as good as the girls that were my age and eventually after time I did. So ballet was my thing back then and I found what I wanted to do so find out what it is that you are passionate about, dedicate yourself and your time to it and the sky is the limit I mean just really have fun, that's all."
