About Me
About Me
Hi, I'm Kennedy Ragar! I'm a passionate dancer and student at Bentonville High School, where I balance my academic pursuits with my love for dance. Since I was young, dance has been my way of expressing myself and pushing my boundaries.
As a member of the Golden Tamers Varsity Dance Team, I've had the incredible opportunity to compete at the national level and contribute to our team's success in state championships. My journey in dance has taken me from local studios to national stages, allowing me to grow not just as a dancer, but also as a leader and team player.
When I'm not in the dance studio or working on choreography, you can find me mentoring younger dancers, participating in student council activities, or volunteering with the American Heart Association. I believe in using my passion for dance to inspire others and make a positive impact in my community.
