ALEXIS BOYD AKA 'VISION', 21 - GLENDALE, CA

Is there anything that we should know? I take dance seriously, and it happened when I was fifteen. I was in home school with nothing to do. I started training five days a week and after a year of this I auditioned for an agency and got one! Within two weeks I booked my first major job. I was sixteen and on tour! I am blessed. I was able to experience things and places dancers may never see. It's a lot of work but it has been totally worth it.

ERIN BROWN, 20 - SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CA

How and when did your dancing career start? I've been dancing since I've been able to walk, but I decided to pursue dancing as a career when I was in elementary school after watching "Showtime at the Apollo" and" The Wiz."

What is a source of inspiration for your dancing career? There was nothing specific that inspired me I just can't remember a time that I was not just compelled to move when music comes on. I live, breathe, eat, sleep and dream about movement.

What do you hope to gain from your 'Dance Crew' experience? I hope to gain experience! I believe that life gives you lessons, but it's up to you whether or not you're up for the challenge.
