Junior Co Spotlight Dancer of the Week!
❤️Kayce❤️
Team- Junior Dreamgirls
9th Season
Hi my name is Kayce Paukert and I am on Junior Dreamgirls. I have been dancing for 9 years. My favorite style of dance is lyrical. What I love most about competitions is being with my friends and performing on stage.
What I like to do in my free time is hang out with my friends, go swimming and tubing, and hanging out at the cabin.
I would like to thank my family for supporting me and cheering me on at competitions. I would also like to thank the teachers and studio for teaching me new things and helping me grow into the dancer I am today.
