A lot of seniors, in my opinion, are overlooked yet are the dancers I like to watch the most. So here are my top 5 (those who still compete as of 2017) and why: 1. Brittany Bruno- I mean a lot of y'all know I'm kind of obsessed with Brit and her dancing. Her ballet technique is off the charts and her flexibility and control are virtually flawless in my eyes; she is also always so genuine when she is on stage. Not to mention she is the sweetest dancer I've ever talked to and it's amazing being able to say that we are friends. I highly suggest those of you who don't know her to check her out! ❤️ 2. Bella Allen- Bella is one of a kind and is probably the most captivating artist and performer I've laid eyes on. What I like so much about her is that she is so unique and has her own sense of style that you don't find much nowadays. While she may not have her legs up all the time or do fancy tricks, her technique is still highly impressive and she always leaves me speechless/in awe with her freakishly amazing solos 💕 3. Kayla Murray- Kayla drew me in all the way back to when she competed Skyscraper almost 5 years ago! Ever since that day, Kayla has been one of my favorite dancers. Usually my list changes over the years, but she is one of the few who have stayed for quite some time. It's bittersweet watching her grow up and now I think she is genuinely one of the most beautiful dancers I've ever seen. Her solos Run and I'll Be Your Clown almost leave me in tears because of how amazing her passion, flexibility, and control are and because of the story she tells. Love her! 😘 4. Tessa Dalke- I mean, let's not get me started on how freaking incredible Tessa is. Her solos are always INSANE and the tricks and things she is able to do are other worldly to me. Her head stands- OMG they are perfect. Her control- 🙌🙌🙌. Her emotions- so believable. Everything is off the charts and I highly suggest you watch her solos; you won't regret it. Unfortunately she is graduating very soon, but I can't wait to see what she does and where she goes in the future 😚 5. Brandy Baker- Along with many of my other favorite seniors mentioned above, Brandy is such a mature dancer with stunning technique and AHMAZING turns and her solos always blow me away. I love the relationship she has with her teacher Brynne Becker and her studio West Coast School of the Arts as well as her friendship with Emmy Cheung. It's sad seeing that she is graduating this year, but her legacy has been left and I know she will do great things 😍.
