It's great that you have a big head start on several other people who come here asking similar questions. You may or may not know that Disney casts the majority of their shows and films in Los Angeles so living there would help. Some casting may take place in Florida and Utah as well. As for being a natural dancer, you still need class. Most dance is based from ballet so you should be trained in that as well as tap and jazz. These days hip hop is a help as well. I'm sure you know that Disney kids are triple threats so it's great that you seem to have it covered. You do have 'taken' in the past tense, so I hope you're still in those classes. An actor doesn't stop training... you need to continually be in training. If you are no longer in acting, voice lessons, etc. Get back in.
You need to have training and experience in order to get an agent. Start auditioning for theatre and get those roles! While you're in class and working on projects, network with everyone! Find out who has an agent and who they're signed with. Make friends and ask if you can use them as a referral. When you have a good part in something, that's when you should do your agent mailing. Invite them to come see you perform. If you mail at another time, make sure you have a good amount of credits and trianing and an industry referral.
So, you have the training & the credits and you're ready for an agent... you send them your headshot, resume and a brief cover letter stating that you're seeking representation (commercial, theatrical, etc.). Hopefully you'll here within 6-8 weeks that someone would like to meet with you. Legit agents do not ask for money up front and they do not send you to specific photographers or acting studios.

or RossReports.com - it's not free, but it's good & has more info.
More audition info can be found on backstage.com and actorsaccess.com. Neither are completely free but they are completely legit and are industry standards. Have your parents check them out. You can message me if they want more info.
good luck!

I suggest you apply to a casting agent who will send you on interviews, maybe even Disney shows
