Claire grew up in Olathe, Kansas where she pursued her love of dance as a member of the Olathe South Golden Girls and Above the Barre Dance Academy company. She continued to dance in college as a member of the Creighton University Dance Team where she was given the opportunity to perform at numerous events including the Big East Basketball Tournament at Madison Square Garden. Claire is currently pursuing her dream of becoming a Doctor of Dental Surgery at UMKC School of Dentistry where she is a third year dental student. She is passionate about the joy that being on a dance team can bring young girls, and is excited to be a part of Miss Kansas Dance Festival this year. Claire will be working the registration table on Saturday and can also be seen running score sheets and recorders from judges to our tabulator and verbal transfer workers!
