## Caption

Happy New Year! I’m going to start sharing dance videos on my new account @karenxdance - I’m hoping this will motivate me to exercise more this year. This montage is a throwback to 2013, and it’s one of the first videos I ever made. If you want to see the full original video, look up “Girl learns to dance in a year” on YouTube

I got into filmmaking by accident - actually it was because of this dance video that I started to take it more seriously. I definitely wasn't one of those child prodigies who picks up a camera at age 5. After college, I got really interested in dancing (I actually really wanted to learn how to do a good robot dance) and decided to start practicing and documenting my progress. The video really blew up, and it got me totally hooked on making videos. It was a hobby for many many years before I even considered it would be possible for me to do it for a living
