Terrigal dancer to support world’s biggest stars

Terrigal dancer, Kyra Johnson, is packing her bags to travel to the US to join a dance group supporting the likes of Beyonce, Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lopez and Tate McRae.

Bloc LA, the agency responsible for providing dancers to some of the music industry’s biggest mega-stars, signed the former Terrigal High School student to a three-year contract late last month.

Johnson is now moving to Los Angeles to train with the group and begin working on tours and music videos with some of the world’s biggest stars.

“Not dancing was never an option,” said Johnson, who has been dancing since she was two.

“I am most alive when the music starts, and it takes over my soul.

“I have chased my dreams to LA and won’t stop until they become a reality,” Johnson said.

“Creating content, entertaining and performance is my way of sharing my passion with the world.”

Johnson was attending a dance convention when Bloc LA scouted her out for a meeting.

That was a month ago.

Johnson returned to the Coast and held no great hopes but then the job offer came.

“The other day I signed the contract but I’m still pinching myself,” she said.

Johnson danced on the Central Coast with Art Dance Academy, Dance Energy and Milk Dance studios and has danced in Sydney with KCC elite hip hop Crew and was this year’s champion solo dancer at Danchello on the Gold Coast, among a host of dance and choreography prizes.

On Terrigal High School’s facebook page, where her new job was announced, Johnson wrote about her journey to become a professional dancer.

“I am reminded that dreams are not just fantasies. They are goals worth chasing. 

“Every setback, every late night rehearsal, and every moment of doubt was a stepping stone towards something greater. 

“The path may be challenging, but the rewards are immeasurable,” she said.

Johnson left Terrigal High at the end of Year 10 in 2018.

She said she would put her cosmetic and fine line tattoo business K Kollective Artistry on pause while she followed her dream.
