Kelsey Leon is a 15-year-old actress, dancer and model that is known for her role as ?Kimmie & Power Surge Dancer?in Brat?s wildly successful YouTube web series, 'Chicken Girls'. "I got into acting about 16 months ago. I?ve been a competitive dancer my whole life and wanted to try something new. A lot of my friends are on Disney and Nickelodeon shows, so it really inspired me to pursue acting. " Leon plays a mean girl on the YouTube series 'Chicken Girls' and says that the storyline is what drew her to the amazing script. "The scripts were great. We had a couple mean lines which are always fun to act. The dances were the best! We have a phenomenal choreographer, and dancing with my cast is always a good time."

What is your favorite and least favorite thing about your character? "My favorite thing about my character is that ?Kimmie? is a dancer. I don?t have a least favorite thing about my character other than that she?s mean. But I love playing mean characters as it?s so outside of my comfort zone."

She says she enjoys being able to act with all of her castmates because she considers them friends as well. Leon also reprised her role in the official Chicken Girls movie. "This was my first movie. It was such a fun experience. It was definitely more shoot days and longer set days, but, it was a blast shooting the movie. [My favorite scene } Definitely [was] the last dance scene in the movie where we?re all Chicken Girls. The song is called ?Party Favor.? It was the best! We had so much fun filming it

What is your advice for a new actress? "Be yourself. When I first started in this industry, I was so shy and nervous. You just have to learn to break out of your shell and be comfortable in front of the camera and other people."

Can you tell us a little bit about your dancing history? "I?ve been dancing since I was two years old. I did my first solo at the age of six. I did competition until I was 14 years old. I decided I wanted to do something new, so I stopped competing and started acting at the age of 15. "

"YOU?LL MAKE IT INTHE INDUSTRY FOR SUREIFYOUWORKHARD"

What is a piece of advice you?d have for a new dancer? "Practice makes perfect. Always practice and have good work ethic. You?ll make it in the industry for sure if you work hard"

Her previous acting credits include guest roles in Nickelodeon?s ?Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn? and Amazon?s ?Just Add Magic? Be on the look out for Season 3 of 'Chicken Girls' debuting this fall. Follow Kelsey Leon on Twitter @kleonofficial.
