KYRA JOHNSON -

We are so excited to announce that Miss Kyra is a STAR!

Kyra has been a student of dancenergy since she was 10 years old and was invited to become a teacher within the studio 6 years ago.

Her achievements professionally over the past few years have been incredible to witness but this year, she followed her lifelong dream to move to the USA to pursue her career as a professional dancer.

Kyra was just signed to one of the top agencies in Los Angeles (BLOC LA).

She will also be a head dancer with Brian Friedman at Radix.

We will miss her so much and will be so excited to have her return and do workshops within her dance family here at dancenergy.

We are so proud of you Miss Kyra!
