We know that you have many talents. Where did your passion for dancing come from?

S: “My passion for dancing came at a young age, let’s say zero;) My mother owns a dance studio in Littleton Colorado called Shelly True Dance Academy. There I was at the studio 5 days a week either running around with the other students as a family or in class. We had a dinner program for the competitive dancers so it was normal to be there from 4-9:00 every night. I would not have changed it for the world, it was a blast!”

Besides dancing you act, sing, and model. Tell us more about what you do?
