Interview : Alyson Stoner

How much fun did you have working on Step Up 3?
I had a complete blast working on Step Up 3. I loved it! I feel very blessed to be part of a movie that's as wonderful as this. It's seriously awesome. In fact, I think it's the best dance movie in the world. 
Were there any bloopers during the film shoot? 
Of course there were! You can't shoot a dance movie without some of the dance moves going wrong at some point. You also can't shoot a dance movie without someone tripping up or falling over during the choreographed scenes. We all took a tumble or two during filming!

Tell us about your most embarrassing tumble... 
I have fallen over many times during filming and dance rehearsals, but my most embarrassing moment was when my costume completely fell off during a performance! This didn't happen when I was working on Step Up 3. It was during a musical I did on stage, but it was extra embarrassing because Mariah Carey and Tom Hanks were in the audience at the time.
Eek! Tell us more... 
I was doing a musical with Debbie Allen alongside Corbin Bleu, but my whole outfit unzipped itself and fell off. I had to keep dancing until I could get off stage and reattach all of the clothing before running back on for the finale. 
Were there any other embarrassing moments on the set of Step Up 3? 
Well, there's a scene in the movie where I had to wear a nametag stuck to my shirt - but I'm scared of stickers! 
You're scared of stickers? 
I know it sounds silly, but I'm petrified of them. The substance on the back of stickers is very dirty and I don't want it touching my skin. It's horrible. I have to face my fear every time I wear a nametag, but I try not to think about it. You know what? I really struggled with that scene, but I eventually got through it. 

What do you like to get up to when you're not working? 
I love to try out new things. I like to explore and I'm very adventurous, but you'll always find me dancing at some point in the day.
When did you discover you could dance? 
I've been dancing all my life! I've been training in dance since I was three years old, and I've been teaching dance for the last eight or nine years. I love dancing. I couldn't imagine life without it.
