DeKalb’s Braylee Brown Signs With Missouri Western Dance Team By: Bella Beems
On Thursday, April 30, DeKalb Senior Braylee Brown signed to be a part of the dance team this coming fall for Missouri Western State University. “I’m so excited to continue something that I am passionate about,” says Braylee. Not only is she going to Missouri Western for dance, Braylee wants to earn her Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice as well. The signing happened at Darcee’s School of Dance, the studio she’s grown up dancing and practicing in since she was just two years old. “I’m super proud of her. I’ve got to be a part of not just her dance journey, but her life,” says her dance coach, Darcee. Dancing for sixteen years takes not just a lot of skill and dedication, but passion, too. “It took me getting it done, getting passionate about something I love, and just being who I am,” says Braylee. Braylee thanks her family and friends for supporting her through all these years and their continuing support as she takes her passion for dance into her adult years.
