The students appear, front and center, during two “Frozen” Celebration performances, “Let it Snow” and “In Summer”.

At every Disney rehearsal and performance, they were called on to behave as if they were professional dancers, and each time they rose to the occasion,” said Vanessa Berry, Owner, Kick Dance Studios. “Their big smiles and positive attitudes were a joy to see every step of the way and we’re all looking forward to watching their performances again on Christmas Day.”
