Yeah, I got to dance for Taylor Swift, a choreographer, Jason Derulo. I was on the Ellen Show, Step Up, So You Think You Can Dance. Pretty much everything I ever dreamed of doing as a dancer. And that's why even today I'm huge on encouraging people to create content. there's no better way to reach an audience in a really, really genuine way than by creating content.
