Sixth grader Annabelle Kimbrough went walking in Memphis today to compete at Starpower with her jazz dance solo “Defying Gravity.”
She finished with a 5 Star Premier ranking, 1st Place in Category, 7th Place Division Overall for ages 9-11, and the “Wickedly Wonderful” Special Judges award!
For the first time in four years of hard work, consistent and PATIENT coaching, and parental financial, moral, and snack support, Annabelle broke into the TOP TEN!! Today, she learned about tenacity and that hard work does eventually pay off!
