Several members of the Lake Washington High School dance team will be taking part in holiday events, like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, and the New Year’s Day parade in London, England.

Captains Michelle Murakmi, Laura Duncan and Molly Shipman were all invited by the Universal Dance Association earlier this year to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City. The trio left last week, prior to the event, for sight seeing and parade rehearsals.

The entire Lake Washington team will be marching in the Macy’s Holiday Parade on Friday, Nov. 24 in downtown Seattle.

During the Universal Dance Association’s dance camp this past summer, third year dance seniors and leaders of the team were able to try out for the UDA all-American dancer designation. Six of the Kangs team members earned the honor. Jonna Beck, Itzel Santiago, Madalyn McRae, Amanda Smith, Duncan and Shipman each earned the honor. Of the group, McRae, Smith and Duncan will be traveling to London for the annual New Year’s Day parade.
