Dance Mogul:<\/strong><\/em> What inspired you to start dancing? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nerita McFarlane:<\/strong><\/span> Rhythm wasn’t something that was natural for me, but I always loved music. I was determined from a very young age and it was only a matter of time before I was in a dance class. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dance Mogul:<\/strong> How did you develop your work ethic to train?<\/em><\/p>\n

Nerita McFarlane:<\/span> <\/strong>The deal when it came to training was to keep my grades up at school. As I pushed to make sure my academics were outstanding, it helped fuel my ambition to train and become a better dancer and individual.<\/p>\n

Dance Mogul:<\/strong><\/em> What have been some of your memorable moments on stage? <\/span><\/p>\n

Nerita McFarlane:<\/span> <\/strong>My first big show was back in the Summer of 2012 when I danced in the Essence Music Festival with an artist who was under Mary J Blige at the time. The Mercedes Megadome is currently the biggest stage I’ve ever <\/span>performed on. Being from Brooklyn, New York, this summer I got the chance to perform at The Barclays Center dancing for Ayo Jay at the One Africa Music Festival which was an amazing vibe filled with illuminating culture then <\/span>right after I was blessed to grace the Madison Square Garden stage with Beyonce.
