Spotlight on AKD Junior Designer Kayla - Age 7

Blog #3: Following Kayla, Age 7, Chicago: We've been keeping track of our fall AKD Junior Designer, who is also a Chicago Luvabulls Junior Dancer. 

Outside of dance and cheerleading, Kayla is trying a new hobby - pageants! This month, Kayla entered her first pageant with 54 contestants. Our little Kayla was awarded Top Five and will join the winners in Orlando in December! Here she is in her formal wear and casual wear. She actually found a creative way to wear her official Jr Luvabulls uniform for casual wear! Congratulations Kayla, we are very proud of you and proud you chose to wear AKD. 

This fall, Kayla designed three different costumes that were presented to AKD for creation. AKD selected and created one of these costumes for Kayla, and it is off and shipped to Chicago as we speak! In our next and final AKD Junior Designer blog, we will feature that costume creation!  

"Thank you for making Kayla's dreams come true," said mom Felicha.

Thank you to Kayla for being a part of our program! Until we see her wearing the final product, we can only reveal a small bit of the costume, pictured here. Stay tuned!
