Everyone has to start somewhere, right? Since I've never done a Guest DJ week before, I figured I'd share a few highlights chronicling how my taste in music evolved.

I started dance classes at a fairly young age, and my dance studio was a major source of exposure to pop music. One of the benefits of dancing was learning how to follow the beat and to hear the musical phrasing and rhythm changes. This unquestionably has influenced how I listen to all sorts of music. As I recall, I did a routine with pom-poms to this song. The costume had a lot of sequins.
