(When asked what she has learned from the audition process of So You Think You Can Dance?)Chelsie: Wow, a lot - that you can't worry too much about everyone else around you, all you can do is your best. Especially in the audition process, you never want to get too caught up in other people, believe in yourself and your capabilities, and remember that everything happens for a reason whether you make it or you don't, that is what kept me calm through out the process.
