My mom performing at Dance Chelsea. I’m so proud of her! She and I started ice skating together when I was about four, and she skated in competitions up until about four years ago, when she decided to switch to dancing (I stopped competing when I was fourteen). She also takes piano lessons from Kendrick and practices for at least an hour every day, rides a motorcycle, eats like a truck driver, and is generally unstoppable.

I don’t know where she gets her energy – it’s obviously not genetic.
