Sugar Grove, IL resident Brianna Michi, a 2021 Kaneland High School graduate, and Elburn, IL resident Brooklyn Brown, a freshman at Kaneland High School, choreographed an amazing dance and have earned a spot in the top 10. Now, they need to secure their spot in the top 5 and this can be done by gaining enough votes. Both girls have shared that they are aspiring to be professional dancers and winning this challenge would "mean so much to each of them, helping them achieve a lifelong dream".
Their entry reads as follows:
"Hi Michael and Derek! We are incredibly grateful to have this opportunity. This entry is done by Brianna Michi and Brooklyn Brown. We spent countless hours perfecting and filming our routine to our favorite song Higher. We are both working to be professional dancers, and would love the chance to take a trip to LA, class from the one and only Derek, and of course tickets to our favorite show! Not to mention we love Michael, and dancing to his music. It would be a dream to have the opportunity to talk with him on a call. Dance is our passion, and we had so much fun creating this piece."
