A dance line competition would not be authentic without a drum line performing so this year guests will be energized by the BODL Drum Line Competition scheduled to take place on the same day.
Mrs. Kim Coln is the Founder/Director of the BODL Competition and the Dazz With Jazz Dance Studio.
She believes events like BODL help young ladies to not only nurture their talents but exposes them to colleges and universities who sponsor such events. Through BODL senior dancers are also able to compete for college scholarships by meeting particular requirements.
