"Born to Dance" contestant and Atlanta native Jahleeka "Jelly" Morris recently sat down with Daily Venus Diva for an exclusive interview to discuss her time on the show and her dance dream. Although Jelly is a curvaceous dancer, she won't let that stop her from going after her dream. Check out Jahleeka's exclusive interview! Here is a preview of her take on the dance scene in Atlanta.
DVD: Tell me about the dance scene in Atlanta.
Jelly: The Atlanta dance scene is massive. It can be very intimidating so you have to push through your mind giving you negative ideas about your talent. Sean Bankhead, Mike Peele, Kiki Ely, Donald “D-ray” Colson and Codi Wigins are talented choreographers who have pushed me. Every dance class is like an audition so we literally sweat like we just did a show. The swag plus intricate dance moves that we groove to in Atlanta is like no other city that I know of.
DVD: What advice can you offer others pursuing a dance career in ATL?
Jelly: Take a lot of classes just to get different styles so u can master your own and most importantly don’t let anyone tell you no. Keep pushing.
