My dancing career changed forever.

I remember when my view of dance totally changed. I used to worry a lot about what others thought—if my technique was right, if I looked good, if I was good enough. All the advice from teachers and the focus on technical stuff often drowned out my own instincts. Then, during a tough audition for the top 100 on "So You Think You Can Dance," I felt like I was losing my chance. That's when I decided to be my true self, no matter what. Every step and emotion had to show who I am and what I believe in. Once I did this, everything changed. I wasn't just a dancer anymore; I became an artist. This brought me a lot of joy and success. I got selected for the show and made it to the grand finale, finishing in the top 4. My career took off from there, and I've never looked back.
