Dance Sandals
When most dancers are auditioning for a company such as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Perris plans to pull double duty in college, studying child psychology or becoming an FBI agent, and dancing for a professional troupe. She wouldn't mind kicking up her heels for the American Ballet Theatre,
in her dance sandals, or Bob Fosse's Broadway talent. And after nine years of training, this ambitious teen knows that her path to success won't be easy. But she's ready for the hard work ahead. She's been preparing for it since she rocked her first pair of tights.

GET MOVING
Think you're smooth enough for a lead role in Missy Elliott's next video? Stephen Smith, dance instructor and dean of students at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy in Culver City, California, can whip you into shape. "I can make anybody dance," asserts Smith. "It isn't about how high you kick or if you can do nine pirouettes." He says the true measure of a dancer is in a student's concentration, spirit, and focus.
JOIN A CLASS
Start dancing with a school dance troupe or an academy such as DADA. Prices at Allen's school range from $120 to 500.
