Twist: What's your schedule on a weekday? When you get back from school and dance practice.

Tyler Nelson: Well, I have two or three classes in the morning and then I have another class after lunch. And then it's just dance, dance, dance from 1 p.m. to 3, then 4:30 to 6 p.m. Then outside of school I dance from 6 to 9 p.m.

T: So you practice basically every day?

TN: Every day, even on the weekends. There's always something I can be perfecting or doing.

T: Do you ever want a break from dance?

TN: It never gets old to me. Not right now, it can't get old to me. I haven't reached my full potential.

T: Why do you think people should watch the show?

TN: It's our lives. I've always said I wish a camera could follow me to see how crazy and hectic my schedule can be and to see my talent. And it's always motivating for other people. Now the world gets to see.

T: In the last episode that I saw, last week, Jasmine became your girlfriend. How do you balance everything with dance, with school, seeing your friends and having a girlfriend?

TN: It's of course hard, but it's the same way with having anther job or so. You gotta find some way to balance it out. She does the same thing as me, so we can focus on the same things.

"Taking The Stage" comes on Thursdays at 10 p.m. on MTV.
