Kendall is currently a Junior at Carmel Catholic High School and is going into her third year with Extensions Dance Company. Kendall’s love for dance started at the age of five and just grew more and more over time. She has been coached by some wonderful instructors including Avnun Yakubov, Lacy Rush, Lauren Blane, Brian Hare, Jamie Vecchione, Nick Pupillo, Laura Wade, and Denise Sabala. Kendall has had many accomplishments including being in the top twelve highest scoring contemporary solos at YAGP, being a cast member in the film “Sister Carrie”, being a part of “The Dream” where she danced alongside Visceral Dance Chicago and performed live with Chicago Philharmonic, and going to the 2019 lines summer intensive. Kendall’s favorite dance genre is contemporary, she feels as if she is able to be her true self and break out of her shell. In order to balance the rest of her life with her dance schedule, she learned how to manage her time really well, she makes sure she has enough time to do everything she needed to do that day. Her most challenging dance moment was when she just moved studios and was the youngest at her new studio. She was dancing with seniors in high school when she was in sixth grade, so it was hard for her to mature her movement at such a young age. In the end, it was a very important part of her life. The advice she would give to her past self would be to stop worrying about what other people think. Every dancer is different, it’s better to be yourself rather than trying to be someone your not. Something that people don’t know about Kendall is that she is very into movies. In her free time, she is always watching movies with her friends and family. If you ever want to get her a drink from Starbucks you should know that her favorite drink is a peach green tea lemonade. Kendall likes to remember this quote when she needs an inspiration “real growth starts when you’re tired of your own sh*t” With all that being said Kendall can’t wait for another year with Extensions Dance Company!
