When I was 5, I remember watching my mom being twirled around as she gracefully danced to a "swing" song. I knew my family was into performing arts since my dad could sing well and he would usually imitate Engelbert Humperdinck.
Turning 7 and studying in the Philippines, I watched my brothers and his friends practice to a New Wave tune and listen to my older sister sing along with Gladys Knight - both times I wanted to join in.
Then I had my first performance in grade school, wearing a black leotard, gold ribbons and giving it all I got to "Can't Take my Eyes Off of You". That's when I knew I was meant to be a dancer!
