“I’ve been dancing all my life, but I never did it seriously.”

I think everything about my life is magical. I’ve struggled, and against most odds, I’m truly having the experience of living my dreams.

I think the best advice came from Drew Barrymore, about always finding love in everything you do and keeping a positive attitude and being thankful.

I have suffered from bullying in many ways, from bullying in school due to my disability in reading, to digital abuse that I deal with on a daily basis. I’d like to tell the kids that are being bullied that no one should have to deal with the abuse, ever!

If someone is trying to bring you down, it only means you’re above them.

I was never a dancer before ‘Shake It Up’.

Don’t try to impress people. Always be yourself!

I’d like to help other kids with dyslexia, because I’m dyslexic. It was very hard, and I know that what I went through, other kids are going through.

I don’t have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm.

I’m really into tall boots. I just got some new ones from Michael Kors that have these little gold studs. I have Valentino ones that I really love. Real, real tall boots!

I really love big scarves. I have a whole bunch.

I know that some girls look up to me for certain things, like dyslexia, and that way I know that they like me for me, so it adds no pressure.

I think that everybody needs somebody to really look up to and know that even though you’re going through a tough time, you’ll get over it.

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don’t speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I’m proud to be Latina, and most people don’t know I am.

Dancing inspires my music. Having your girlfriends all together and just being free and happy.

My dream artist to play at prom would be Frank Ocean. “Thinking of You” is one of my favorite songs. He makes really sweet music for slow dancing at the prom.

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

This form of dancing can’t be dated, it’s such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.

I think ‘Tap Dogs’ has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing.

. It’s an even wooden floor, and may the best man or woman win. And I say God bless Dancing with the Stars, and God bless the USA.

We are content in the ‘given’ in sensation’s quest. We have been metamorphosised from a mad body dancing on hillsides to a pair of eyes staring in the dark.

Every object is beautiful in motion; a ship under sail, trees gently agitated with the wind, and a fine woman dancing, are three instances in point

The dancing vortex of a sacred metaphor clashes horns and halos to make wounded music set to the tempo of a new era in brilliant labor.

Within the universe of the extraordinary, those qualities we designate to human concepts of gender are often shared, exchanged, or even completely obliterated.

The buzz you get when you’re playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible.
