them into the hq page so
the first one is from elia who asks what
age did you start dancing
i started dancing when i was three years
old in just baby ballet
and then from there many years later
hurry up hang on
baby ballet is a thing
that oh yeah we got to start at the
basics i wish i'd have started that now
a unicorn son to ask what is your best
warm-up exercise to do before dancing an
important exercise as well
oh you know what right before we would
go on stage on tour
all of us girls would do a squat into a
relative
so squat you got it and then he goes
i'll just do the one eyeliner
hill recently um okay and magic e says

what did you say to yourself when you
found out you got the roll of piper

that maybe i was on j
troop i had no idea that i would be on a
troop so i was just amazing
jess asks when you auditioned for the
next step did you always want to be
