I don't know. I am torn because I love dancing and I watch it and it would be so fun to be able to dance like that and to learn how to dance like that, but on the other hand, I've spent my whole adolescence to adult life being judged by judges and being worried about live audiences and stuff like that makes me really nervous."-
