Kennedy's Story
Kennedy discovered a passion for ballet at age four and spent her childhood performing onstage and entering competitions. When she was a teenager, she moved from her hometown in Michigan to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a professional dancer. She also enrolled in the Professional Children’s School so she could continue her high school education. Academics were just as important to Kennedy as ballet, and she had always wanted to go to college, but she didn’t think it would be possible once she started dancing full time after high school. When she heard about the options available at the Columbia School of General Studies (GS) for part-time attendance, Kennedy knew she had found a way to make both of her dreams come true.
