I've been watching this show since I was 8 years old. At that time, I wanted to become a dancer, but I didn't see many black dancers on TV. When this show first aired, I was automatically hooked. I thought it was amazing what the girls could do. When I turned 12, my parents surprised me with tickets to the Live Tour. I still have the ticket stub, and I still call this one of the best days of my life. Despite the language, I learned that I could be anything I wanted to be as a black girl thanks to this show.
