Beyonce was very shy around children, and one of the reasons we put her in dance classes was so she'd have some little kid friends.

I didn't take the typical path and go to college after high school. Instead, I saved up money from teaching dance classes and moved to L.A. But my family was so supportive - I never felt pressure from them. It's crucial to find a support system, even if it's not your family.
