For years, the Southlake Carroll Emerald Belles have been training talented dancers, many of whom go on to dance at the collegiate or even professional level.
At the MA Nationals last year, the team placed sixth overall, earning first places in High Kick and Lyrical and second place in Jazz. Now, the group of 78 high school dancers are venturing into new territory: auditioning on “America’s Got Talent.”
The reality talent contest show is most famously judged by Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel. The upcoming season will feature two new stars replacing former judges Heidi Klum and Mel B, as new panel will add Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough. While we have no idea what happened with the Belles in California, all we can say is tune in on May 28th for season 14 of "America’s Got Talent" to find out.
The Emerald Belles are led by captain Molly McKinnon; senior lieutenants Josette Chang, Kathryn Larkin, Rachael Lilly, Mackenzie Lusk and Isabella Papadimitriou; and junior lieutenants Emily Kennedy, Mackenzie Matwick, Kelli Nusspickel and Kinsy Smith. The team is directed by Melissa Page, who traveled with the girls to their audition.
