How does it feel to be in the spotlight?

You know, I don’t think much about it because I’m kind of an internal person. It’s a little strange when I go out and people are like, “Ahhhh!” because I don’t understand it. I’m just doing what I love to do.

The dance you choreographed for So You Think You Can Dance about meeting your father in heaven was very powerful and incredibly personal.

It was personal. When we were in rehearsal, I couldn’t … to this day I can’t even get into it about my dad because it’s such a touchy thing for me and so emotional. We had an amazing relationship, so when I was in rehearsal I couldn’t even talk about it. I would write notes to the dancers about what I wanted them to do because I didn’t want to be that vulnerable on camera.

Was it hard to put so much of yourself out there?

I wasn’t really thinking about it. I was just thinking about the idea of meeting my dad in heaven and how cool it would be. My dad was a smoker and died of lung cancer. I had been a smoker since I was 14. The day of rehearsal I had just come in from having a smoke and it hit me … why am I creating a dance about meeting my dad in heaven? It freaked me out because I was thinking, I don’t want to meet him right now. I want to live.
