Taking the Stage: Carlton
When did you first start dancing?
I self-taught myself for years since fifth grade and then I started officially taking classes about two years ago in ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop. And I'm taking it pretty seriously now.
Who would you say is your ultimate dance idol?
Michael Jackson is my all-time idol because his dancing is amazing. It's not necessarily hip hop but I got my start watching him. Usher, Omarion -- they're all great dancers and I mimicked them when I was a kid. I tried to copy the videos. That's how I got started.
