Kimberly Wyatt also happens to be, according to Antin, "the sexiest dancer I have ever seen in my life". Says Wyatt, "I'm a lot shyer than most of the girls but my personality onstage is full-out. I really go for it".

About
Kimberly's life is considered quite inspiring by many. She was born on Warrensburg, MO, a tiny farm town near Kansas City, MO'. Her father is a truck driver and her mother goes on the road with him. She danced since she was seven and by the time Wyatt was 14, she was earning scholarships to study in New York each summer, from the Joffrey Ballet to the Broadway Dance Center. After graduating high school at 17, she promptly flew to Las Vegas to audition for cruise ship and casino shows.
In 2001, she moved to L.A., despite an offer from the Hubbard St. Dance Co. in Chicago. “All I knew was that L.A. is where dancers got jobs and L.A. was the dot MapQuest led to. My parents thought, ‘Oh my God, what is she going to turn into out there?’”
In 2003, Antin was the choreographer for a video for Nick Lachey’s solo album when she met Wyatt. Antin asked her that night to join The Pussycat Dolls. “I had only seen a poster for them,” Wyatt recalls. “I remember falling in love with the girls. Not many acts let you be sexy and still be about girl power.”
“Small town Middle America is different from the coasts,” she says, “and all the girls come from big cities. I have a different perspective. They love my stories about towns where the fancy clothing store is Wal-Mart.”
by her words :
"(...) dream and believe is my expression for a reason. I came from a very small town where their was no opportunity. My dreams were bigger than anyone around me could fathom. I had the one person believing in me that counts.....myself. One day I decided that I was ready and I packed my bags, filled my car with as much stuff as possible, drove to LA, lived in a motel for a week and a half and started working my way up. Its not easy but with enough drive and hard work everything is possible. I had side jobs like telemarketing and tons of dance gigs, not to mention the amount of jobs I had to support my dream from the ages of 12 and up. I even went door to door asking for donations to get me to a dance competition. But if you dream big and really do believe, you'll do anything you have to. Listen to yourself, to your gut, and you will soar."
