KSD Takes Hollywood!
Over the holiday break we were asked to bring a small number of advanced dancers to the first annual Hollywood Dance Invitational in Santa Monica California, which was sponsored by Kids Artistic Revue (“KAR”)! It was a fabulous learning experience for our dancers, who were able to take class with Brooke Lipton (choreographer from the hit TV series, “Glee”), participate in a mock audition and class with Disneyland choreographers and casting agents, meet with Clear Talent Group, and participate in a photo shoot from which KAR selected photography for
Their 2016 promotional ads. We are so pleased to have these kinds of opportunities available to our dancers and look forward to providing more great opportunities for our dancers in the coming year.
Congratulations to our amazing KSD Seniors who have chosen colleges for next year!
Jen Schultz will be attending Grand Valley State University.
Kayla Cary will be attending Grand Valley State University.
Kayla Smith will be attending Oklahoma City University where she will major in dance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
