Shake It Up’ definitely teaches kids about the importance of reaching for your dreams and setting high goals. It also teaches great lessons about friendship and family.

I would say that ‘Shake It Up’ was a chance for me to do two things I really love: acting and dancing.

One of my dreams is to walk down the runway during Fashion Week!

Fashion is a great thing, it’s a way to express who you are.

I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I’m a tomboy at heart, too.

The secret to a really great friendship is just creating fun memories whenever you’re with that person

There’s young girls watching me, and I want to make sure that they see that you can be beautiful without having to show everything.
