I was a ballet dancer and that kind of bled into musical theater. I was constantly in rehearsal for one thing or another.

I did community theater in Georgia and called myself a ballet dancer.

I came from the musical stage. My first show was '110 In The Shade.' I started as a ballet dancer and then sort of gravitated toward musical theater, so any time I got asked to sing or dance, it was a joy for me.

I've got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.

Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing.

If there is a Busta Rhymes of musical theater, it probably is Mandy Patinkin.
