I live with my mom, dad, and little sister Hope. I love singing in
my car, laughing, and talking! Dancing in my dance room always makes
me feel better! I'm on Student Council, Spanish Club, and an honor
student. My favorite class is Math.
The best things about Kickline are football season and performing at
the Butler Invitational Competition in front of the community! The
most memorable moment was being called GRAND CHAMPIONS when we
weren't sure we had it! I can't wait to get so close with everyone
again and perform together again!

Interesting facts: My parents are Christie and Randy and I have a
brother, Hayden. My favorite things to do are spending time with my
family and friends, going camping, and going shopping. I have
recently been accepted into the Flight Crew for Vandalia Butler High
School and looking forward to getting to know some of the new and
upcoming Freshmen. I am in love with dance and enjoy all styles with
my favorites being hip hop and contemporary jazz.
"My most memorable moments are the crowds reaction to our kick
routine the "Can Can" and winning Grand Champions 2010! I am looking
forward to another successful season and just being a part of such a
great team!"

Love to spend my time dancing of course! Also in the sun, swimming,
hiking, or shopping.
I can't wait to get this year started, I'm very excited! I love

2nd year on Butler Kickline
This is my 14th year of dancing! And I still love every minute
of it. The best thing about being on Kickline is the
friendships you share. My most memorable moment was last year
at State/Nationals, when we won Grand Champions!! It was the
most shocking, exciting feeling I've ever had. I can't wait
for another amazing year with this new and amazing team. :)

10th grade
Dance History: Mini's 3 years Officer 1 year, Co- Captain 1 year.
Vantasia 2 years Captain 1 year. Starting my 2nd year on Kickline.
Hobbies: Dancing, running, taking pictures, hanging out and making
memories with best friends.
Favorite class: Math
Best thing about being on Kickline is: The memories, friends and the
warmth you get from everyone on the team. We have a bond that no one
can break. I can't wait for this year, we might be a smaller team,
but I believe that gives us an even better chance of getting closer
as a team. When teams are close, I think they perform better. To me
it's about quality not quantity.
The most memorable moment: Becoming Grand Champions for the first
time!

Grade: Senior
Dance History:
12 years Miss Leslie's School of Dance
7 years Dance Expressions
3 years Vantasia, Officer
4 years Kickline, Officer, Co-Captain
4 years CDP Pageant Semi-finalist
Interest Facts: I have taken many styles of dance throughout my
years, but my favorites are Jazz and Lyrical. My favorite subjects
in school are Math and Spanish. I participate in many clubs such as
Flight Crew, Interact, and Spanish Club. I am also a proud member of
the National Honor Society. Other than dance, my hobbies include
hanging with friends, shopping, and many more!
I am going to be like every other senior that has been on this team
and tell the underclassmen not to take anything for granted during
Kickline or even high school because it flies by too fast. By the
end of competition season, Kickline is not a team anymore, it is a
sisterhood, and we would not have it any other way. I hope to
remember these moments for the rest of my life, and look back at
pictures and videos and wonder how we did everything that we do. I
have to many memorable moments to put down, but I will never forget
winning the Grand Champion award at state, or the Alex Daniel &
Charlie moment at band camp.
Taylor Peters
Dance History: I have been dancing since I was three. I have
taken tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, kick, and contemporary classes. I
was on Mini Expressions for two years, serving as a co-captain my
5th grade year. I was on Vantasia for 3 years and I was an officer
in 7th grade and co-captain in 8th grade. This is my senior year on
Kickline! I was an officer my sophomore and junior year and this
year I am one of the co-captains.
Interesting Facts: Other than dance, I love to read and be
with my family and friends. I also take gymnastics and teach at
Dance Expressions. My favorite classes are math, chemistry, and
Spanish. I am involved in Interact Club, Spanish Club, Flight Crew,
and National Honors Society. Interact club is my favorite because I
enjoy the community service we are involved in.
I can't wait for this year with our small but mighty team! I think
its going to be an awesome senior year!

2nd year on THE Butler Kickline :)
Dance is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. The
mix of music, the flowing movements of the body, and the ability to
just let yourself go and dance with your heart is just an
indescribable feeling that no other athlete can understand. Kickline
is easily the greatest dance team in the world, and I am honored to
be a part of this classy group of young dancers. The feeling of
winning the title as Grand Championships in 09-10 will stick with me
forever and I hope that we can experience that again! These girls
are like the sisters I’ve never had and I will love them forever and
always. ♥
