Our next Dance Ambassador spotlight shines on the incredibly talented Kenzie, whose highlight session took place at the stunning Pagoda & Oriental Garden in Norfolk, Virginia.

This location couldn’t have been more perfect! Not only does it feature vibrant greenery and colorful blooms, but the Asian-inspired architecture also holds special meaning for Kenzie’s mom. The mix of natural beauty and cultural history provided a gorgeous backdrop for her session.

Kenzie wanted this shoot to highlight her long lines, breathtaking leaps, and elegant movement; and she delivered all of that and more. Known as an incredible lyrical dancer, Kenzie brought a softer, more graceful energy to the session while still letting her athleticism shine.

One of the most memorable parts of the day was simply watching Kenzie effortlessly flow between poses and leaps. She’s truly a “leaper”, getting incredible height and extension that made every frame feel dynamic and alive.

We first met Kenzie through our Ambassador Program when she applied earlier this year, and she’s been such a joy to work with. Her professionalism, elegance, and natural talent made this session a dream from start to finish!

Scroll through for some of our favorite images from Kenzie’s session, and see how she brought her lyrical artistry to life against one of the most picturesque gardens in Virginia.
