DANCER OF THE YEAR

2010 SPOTLIGHT DANCE OF THE YEAR

KASEY STARK

Kasey has danced for Spotlight for 7 years and was also our very 1st Dancer of the Year when she was only 11 years old. She is a senior at Powers Catholic High School and will be attending the University of Detroit Mercy studying pre-dental in the fall. Kasey epitomizes what we look for in a model student and she has grown so much over the past 7 years as a dancer that we could not let her graduate without recognizing her once again. Over the years, Kasey has competed not only in the Blue, White & Red Companies, Funkdafied & Tapestry, but she also is the only Spotlight dancer to have done a solo every year. Her 7 Tap solos have scored many Platinum awards and her solo this year placed 3rd at the Thunderstruck Dance competition out of 66 senior solos. Kasey has always gone above and beyond in her work ethic in and out of class. She has participated in every single dance convention we have traveled to, and this year she received a scholarship at The Pulse Dance Convention in Chicago. Kasey is not only a wonderful dancer, but a skilled teacher as well, and she has been working with our younger Spotlight students as an instructor for the past 2 years. We hope that she can inspire her peers and students alike to work as hard as she has over these past 7 years.
