My story of how I found the Kid Dancers Wiki

A couple years ago I was sitting in a pub and had a discussion about choreography in rock and metal dancing, because I'm a child of the 80's and rock and metal are still mainstream in my country. But we all had to confess that no one of us could actually dance. If you went in the dance studio you just learned things like Ballroom or Disco Fox etc, which makes me throwing up just by music taste.

A day later, at my lunch time, I was searching in the internet about choreography in rock and metal and didn't find much, but somehow I landed on the websites of Urban Dance Camp in Lörrach, Germany and watched at first time American industry dancers, like Keone & Mari Madrid or Japanese industry dancers like Koharu Sugawara aka Koko and found with Camillo Lauricella Choreography to Lady Gaga's "Applause" first time some choreo elements I could successfully transferred to some rock and metal pieces. So I got interested in the choreographer and found out that he was trained at the Millennium Dance Complex in LA and found Tim Milgram's videos (TMilly TV) of the MDC LA. Ok, what's most popular? JoJo Gomez' videos! Not exactly my music taste, but i was impressed by the rythmical, dynamical movements. So spent the next lunch times watching the HipHop community and got also interested in other styles of dancing and choreographers.

Then I watched first time a young teenager on TMilly TV. I assumed there was a sort of stardome due to pressed noses on the windows and the arena around her at the MDC. And by her age and flexibility and technique skills I presumed she was doing gym for her after school passion. Such silly things Mainland Europeans think, when they are from a country, where public school attendance is mandatory and one must be trained, graduated, certified and approved for everything before one is allowed the own first independent hands-on in craft, suddenly crashes into the American entertainment business.

Then I found some more videos where the girl is featured and then one was headlined "ft. Kaycee Rice". ...Is this the girl? ... Searching Kaycee Rice ... Ha, gotcha! ...A lot of views ... Checking bio ... Ufff!... And that's how a 50 years old, without annoying granddaughter about dance, gets interesting in a 14 years old teenager at the other side of the ocean. So I watched more videos featuring her and learned that she was competing on NBC World of Dance and used my hacker skills to download all episodes of the show of season one and two, because they are not available in my country and also a lot dancers appeared I know from the UDC. I learned about Sean Lew first time and there was also a 'Ufff'! By research about Kaycee I stumbled over her Wikia page at fandom's "Kid Dancers". Content was just one sentence about Katy Perry's tweet and just dances and photos and thought by myself What a fucking insult for a dancer who accomplished so much! and started to extend the page and then suddenly I was realizing that I'm in charge now to promote the dancer well and she is still a kid. But by Perry's tweet I knew she can handle viral effects and the site wasn't listed even on top pages of the search engines. So I extended her site very much by many details I found out that it topped even Maddie Ziegler's page.

There is until today actually no emotional connection by me, but analytical curiosity about the kids or now adults how they developed, when they get pro at that young age and do education by homeschooling on side lane. How successful are they in their field and life. Are at least sometimes happy. Can the progressive ways to support their talent be transferred to other fields. Within the EU these kids are just aliens for us.
