2018 – Velocity Dance Convention and Competition

A couple of Kern County studios in attendance but Planet Dance was the only one that walked away with a “Best of Radix” Award. Many dancers throughout the United States attend this conventions with hopes of being discovered. Our dancers were among kids in the industry that are signed to talent agencies, working in film/print, and have already made this a career. We are so proud of the dancers!!
