Courtney Galiano

Courtney: I have a great family. I have an Italian father, an Italian mother, they're loud and fun, and I have two younger brothers. They're definitely supportive, they've been at every single dance competition I've ever had.

(When asked what other talents/hobbies she has)
Courtney: I really love to cook! I also love to go out to dinner, shopping is always fun when I'm not broke, ha ha. I love to write and listen to music.

(When asked what she would like to happen as a result of So You Think You Can Dance?
Courtney: I really want to inspire people, to show people that you can achieve anything you put your heart and soul into. I think this is an amazing opportunity to show your talent and your personality, to make a name for yourself because of the love and dedication you have for your art.

When asked about the audition process of So You Think You Can Dance?)
Courtney: The audition process was grueling, humbling, inspirational, unforgettable…I can go on and on and on! I learned a lot about myself as a person and as a dancer. If I learned that much in the small amount of time I was in Vegas I can't even begin to imagine the things I am about to experience.

When asked what she would like to be doing in ten years
Courtney: In 10 years I will be only 29 so I will absolutely still be dancing! I couldn't imagine my life without it but I believe you have to live in the moment so for me to think about 10 years from now is a lot because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow! Maybe I'll be a professional judge on So You Thing You Can Dance with Nigel and Mary.

(When asked if anyone in her family danced profesionally)
Courtney: No, but one time my dad actually got down on the floor in front of my whole dance studio and did the worm in a suit and tie. That was pretty funny but I think the only professional thing about that was the suit and the tie, haha. That's about as experienced as my parents get in the dance world!
