In this segment of #MeetTheDancers get to know **China Taylor** from Orlando, Florida. **Tell us a bit about your dance history: ** I started dancing when I was 10 years old from watching old Michael and Janet videos and breaking all my mom’s furniture. I moved to Los Angeles to become a professional dancer when I was 16 years old with my mom. Got my first job with Lady Gaga when I was 17 doing her VMA performance. I got the call to do the artRAVE while I was still 17 and came on as the baby of the group. The first city was a few days after my 18th birthday and in my home state with so many friends in the audience. It was the best feeling on Earth. **How do you prepare to go on stage:** I always eat a poptart, brush my teeth, stretch, we all do our prayer circle, then right when we get backstage I get so excited and I get butterflies for every show. **What’s your favorite part of traveling:** Seeing the world, doing what I love with greatest people around, and being a gypsy. **What do you do on your day off:** Sleep. I call it the artRAVE Aftermath. **Favorite Gaga song: ** It's a strong battle between So Happy I Could Die and Gypsy. **If I weren’t dancing, I would be:** Probably finding anything creative where I can express myself the way dance already does so much for me. **Any special message for LittleMonsters?** No matter what anyone says we can really be whoever we want to be if we put our minds to it. I remember blasting Dance In The Dark, Hair, and Bad Kids in my room with all her posters on my wall because that's who I am. And listening to her music was my escape from all the bullies and people that told me no, never, and not happening. Now, all my greatest dreams are a reality and no matter what people think of me today I'll always know that I am a LittleMonster. Paws Up! [[lm.pawsup]] #InsidetheartRAVE #MeetTheDancers #ChinaTaylor
