This month I had a great opportunity to work with Tyra Banks. She asked me to choreograph and dance in the opening number of her talk show that airs September 8th. Of course I was very excited...until I heard that at the end of the dance number she wanted everyone to strip down to their bra and underwear.

When I realized that I would have to just about bare all on national TV, I decided I would rather just choreograph the dance number and not dance in it myself.  But her show is all about empowering women to love themselves just the way they are. I wouldn't be a very good idea for me to chicken out, since what I talk and teach about is living a life you love in a body you love! So, after meeting with Tyra and the producers in person, I decided to do it and so I did many of my students, which I am very proud of them for.
