Kamryn chose to dance to Beyonce’s “Grown Woman.”

As soon as the music started, she commanded the attention of everyone in the room.

Her outfit was reminiscent of the dazzling costumes seen in a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas.

For an exhilarating two minutes, Kamryn captivated the audience with her flips and spins on stage, with the crowd cheering her on throughout her performance.

The countless hours she must have spent practicing with her teachers at the Soul Shock Dance Company in Phoenix were evident in her flawless execution.

One of the standout elements of Kamryn’s performance was her incorporation of gymnastics-inspired moves.

These aren’t typically seen in a jazz routine, but Kamryn executed perfect cartwheels with ease.

The creative choreography, planned by Antoine Olds and Ambur Towns, deserves recognition, but Kamryn’s talent is undeniable.

Few six-year-olds could execute such a complex routine so effortlessly.
