About me:
But this is who I really am.
I learned how to breakdance with two street dancers... Turbo, Ozone, and I decided to challenge the system of dance and ended up making a ballet audition with street dancing...
When I was a teenager I moved to Chicago, the daughter of a Army Captain, I was in Catholic school and befriended a wild girl who loved velcro... Being a dancer and gymnast I went against my fathers wishes and auditioned for Dance TV.... I ran into a a Jewish American princess with alot of money and a big ol' attitude...Made it to the finals and paired up with a public school boy who had a hell of a wave in his hair... Dreamy as could be I fell in love with in spite of our differences... Against all odds, We won, with a catchy dance routine.. my father caught me but once he saw me do my flips and turns he shook his fist, not with anger but with pride...
Who I'd like to meet: Some people I would have liked to have met are now gone...but they included Gilda Radner and Dr. Suess(Theodore Geisel), Phil Hartman. And now ..Robert DeNiro, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Sarah Jessica Parker, George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres, Howard Stern, Christopher Walken, Hugh Grant, , Reese Witherspoon, Tina Turner, Will Farrell, Paul Rudd, John Cusak, Tom Hanks, Tracey Ullman

”
