Dance recital in Iola

Dads perform with daughters

By Holly Neumann


Just for Kix held a spring recital in the Iola-Scandinavia High School gymnasium on Sunday, April 28.

Under the direction of Erin Bruno, 59 dancers, along with 16 fathers, entertained the audience.

“I am so proud of the girls and how hard they work each and every week,” said Bruno. “Some of these girls have never had dance before, and they are learning and growing as dancers already in the first year.”

Each class learns four dances throughout the season and tries to perform four to six times in the nine-month season.

“Each performance they grow and build their confidence with performing and getting in front of a crowd,” Bruno said. “I love to see all their smiles when they are performing.”

A highlight of the spring recital was a father-daughter dance called “Hero.”

Among the dancers were Addison Fuzak and her father Travis.

“It was fun,” said 5-year-old Addison.

Travis laughed when his daughter pointed out that he needs more practice.

Just for Kix started in Iola last September.

“The community support has been amazing,” Bruno said. “I am so happy to share my passion with the girls and do something that I love so much.”
