Her family noted and supported this interest, and she was enrolled in dance classes when she was very young. These lessons taught her how to dance in ballet, tap, and jazz stylings. Aside from her dance lessons, she led a fairly average life during her teen years. She attended Van Nuys High School in Van Nuys, California, where she was a cheerleader. While she was in high school, she received a scholarship to attend a dance camp in Palm Springs. Upon her high school graduation, she migrated to California State University, Northridge.
