Katie & Sarah Daniel

Friday, July 26th

Katie and Sarah grew up in Metro Detroit and started dancing at the age of two. They quickly realized that they wanted to pursue performing as a career at age eight. When they were ten years old, they booked their first dance job in the kids cast of a holiday show in Orlando, Florida. Throughout their teen years they focused heavily on their dance training with the goal of moving to New York City at the age of eighteen. 

After one audition season with The Rockettes they booked their dream job of performing on “The Great Stage” as Radio City Rockettes, and that goal became a reality! They wish to pursue all that the entertainment field has to offer in the upcoming years.
