QUESTION & ANSWER from KENDALL

Q: What HC faculty class do you find the most challenging and why?
A: Brooklyn Jai because of the hard hitting hip hop, but I love the challenge to grow with him and learn from him. Who doesn’t love his ENERGY? Can’t wait for my next class with you!
Q: Do you have any pre-performance routines to get in the zone?
A: I listen to a fun playlist with my mom in the car on our way to competitions. And before I go on stage my #1 rule is “Have Fun!”
Q: What’s the funniest or most unexpected thing that’s ever happened during a performance or rehearsal?
A: During our icon tap performance last nationals we had a quick change into tap shoes and mine slipped off my heel and I had to keep dancing, and I thought it was so funny after talking to my friends that were dancing with me. No one knew!
