Don't expepct overnight success or that someone will just see you and hire you.

Keep on dancing. But also take acting classes.

If you want to get anywhere, you need represnetation. That means getting a legit theatrical agent. Don't go to John Robert Powell or Lenz, they just pump you for money. And never pay an agent or agency to get you an audition, that is just a scam.

You will also need to get headshots done so so you can be submitted for roles. Find and inexpensive photographer that specializes in theatrical headshots.

You can't just go to a movie studio and watch them shoot. Your best bet is, if you live in an area that does tv and film production, is to try and get extra work. This may seem small and not what you are aiming form but that way you can watch how things are done, get experience and perhaps make connections in the industry.

This is a tough, and at times, complicated and cruel business. In spite of what you think or may have heard, no one just suddenly gets discovered and made a star. Even Miley Cyrus with her fathers connections had ups and downs at her young age.

Go in with the intention of taking the world but expect to get dumped on at the same time. This way it won't suck as much when you are told "Thank you, we'll be in touch" and they don't call, which is bound to happen, especially early in your career.

Best of luck to you and success in all your endevors.

Go directly to the movie studio, watch their shooting. Somebody might spot you there. Or enroll in acting classes where movie agents mostly frequent.

If your parents support this:

Get involved in local theaters (You may want to do film/tv instead, but it's good for training. I think that's where Vanessa Hudgens and Amanda Bynes started out), check out local agencies & take advantage of free promoting tools -- like YouTube, MySpace, etc.

Add me if you do! :)

Your goal is an empty one. You don't go out there with the goal of being famous. So few ever are. You may think it's within your grasp but believe me, few people attain fame. Thousands and thousands of kids can sing, dance, act, etc., but only a few have the "look" that talent scouts are seeking, and even fewer have the luck needed to succeed. Yes, luck plays a huge role in this field. You can have scads of talent but with no luck or very little of it, you can just forget it. You need to continue on with your education and go on to college. That will serve you better in this life, boring as I know you think that sounds. You go into something (whatever it may be) not to become famous, but because you have a desire, and you don't even consider whether or not you will be famous. Dear, you are living in a fantasy world of your own creation and I am sure as you age you will see that you are. Also, if you are underage (which I think you are) you need your parent's permission. Agents and the Disney Channel and all those entities DON'T deal with minors. Stop your fantasizing and get real. Develop talents and goals that are REALISTIC. Join community theater and try out for school plays (musicals). If you like to perform then you will be happy doing it in these venues at least right now. If your goal is simply fame you are in for HUGE disappointment! Show business is a tough one and most people NEVER even get their foot in the door, let alone become famous! And remember, fame will NOT make you happy if you are not already happy. If you don't believe this, look at all the Hollywood celebrities who have committed suicide (or tried to), or are on drugs, or whose lives are totally screwed up!

if your goal is just to become famous, then wait till you are 18 and go to big brother or something like that.... i guess it's the only way to become quickly famous for basicly nothing.... if you truly like all that acting, singing and dancing go to a drama school and try to go to any auditions you see for plays and that.
