You Should Know 14-Year-Old Commercial Queen Kennadi Boese

Fourteen-year-old Kennadi Boese is a teenage dance superhero. For one thing, she’s successfully living a double life. One day, she’s studying dance and going to school in Colorado like a normal teenager; the next, she’s booking major L.A. gigs like the Kids’ Choice Sports Awards. It’s not just Kennadi’s schedule that’s super-powered: Her turns are effortless and endless, and she’s crazy-versatile (flamenco, anyone?).

“It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from or how long you’ve been dancing. You can always accomplish your dreams, because you are capable of more than you think!”— Kennadi Boese
