On the big field

Three young dancers recently had the spotlight at an Astros game. The group, including (pictured, from left) Ellie Hsia, 6, Quinnlan Walsh, 7, and Kinley Canonico, 7, were featured in the Junior Shooting Stars pregame performance show. They dance together at The Dance Barre HTX. The trio, dancing to Taylor Swift's Shake It Off, performed on the field alongside the Astros Shooting Stars in the 6-8 age division. Each summer, the Houston Astros provide this exciting opportunity for kids aged 6 to 17 to showcase their talent, allowing them to experience the thrill of performing in front of a major league crowd. This year’s event was particularly special for these young dancers, as they got to bring their love of dance to one of Houston's biggest stages.
