Dancing with the stars will dip into the wealth of talent that Utah has to offer when Vibe Performing Arts Studio performs April 13.
A group of kids from Vibe Performing Arts Studio in Lindon, Utah are preparing to show the world what Utah dance has to offer. These kids have trained their whole lives in all different styles such as hip hop, jazz, ballet, tap and ballroom, which is what they will be performing for all of America. The team is made up of 10 people; the 5 guys are Brock Bodily, Nick Bloxsom-Carter, Tynan Hamilton, Brandon Armstrong, and Trey Jackson. The 5 girls are Witney Carson, Lindsay Arnold, Brittany Cherry, Kelsey Skousen, and Tanisha Belnap.
When asked how he felt about doing the show Tynan Hamilton said “I’m excited for what we are going to show the nation which is what we have been working our whole lives for."
For 2 of these kids this won't be the first performing on the show. Brandon Armstrong and Brittany Cherry competed last season for America's favorite jr.'s dancers.
“It’s going to be a fun expeirence. It’ll be a blast going back for a second time.” said Brittany.
Since the show Brittany and Brandon have split up and found new partners. Brandon now dances with Lindsay Arnold and they are currently ranked number 1 in the United States of America..
“We have 3 lessons a week that last 2 hours long of training just for our partnership alone and that doesn't include the professional guest choreographers we bring in monthly." said Brandon.
When I asked Rick Robinson the director of the kids, how is it possible you get the most out of your dancers he responded, “I get the most out of my dancers because I don’t challenge them personally, I challenge the dance that they are doing. Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.. Impossible is nothing.”
