    This is an as-told-to essay based on a conversation with Justine Lindsay,
    who made sports history last year by becoming the first openly trans cheerleader in the National Football League. The essay has been edited for length and clarity.

    My dance career started at a very young age. I used to go with my friends
    to the North Carolina Dance Theater and watch performances like "The Lion King." I was fascinated with the arts. My older brother played football
    and my sister was in pageants, so I thought I'd be the "creative kid."

    I was particularly enamored with ballet. I loved the costumes and the way
    a person's body would move and transform into a certain character. The
    first performance I watched was "Swan Lake" when I was around 8 years old,
    and I was entranced by the arm movements, how that instantly turned
    someone into a swan.

    Ballet was the one dance skill I knew I had to love and had to learn. I'd
    go to the computer almost every day, trying to connect it to the internet through AOL, and I'd watch video after video to learn everything I could,
    from arm movements to leg and feet placements.

    I could relate to ballet, which at the time was uncommon to see someone
    who's African American be in that arena. I just knew I'd make my way into
    a world where I could dance.
