The Met
“I was no. 139 - I remember my number,” says Melissa Strom of Plano, who landed a role as dancer. “The audition went so fast - bang bang. You either learned it or you didn’t. It’s really your muscles that have to remember the steps. You use your brain to keep it all in order, but your muscles are the most important factor. I was catching on pretty quick because I’ve been taking dance since I was two.”
