We are completely L-O-V-E over this adorable duo’s recent fox trot performance on Dancing With The Stars: Juniors! Akash & Kamri obviously worked hard on this routine and their choice in song was spot on. There is something truly moving about Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” that makes us want to get up and dance as well!
From the first camera angle on adorable Kamri Peterson, we were hooked! This 10-year-old from Utah has been studying dance since she was able to walk. Her biography on the show’s website shares that she really loves Ballroom and has won many titles in the dance world. Paired with Spelling Bee star, Akash Vukoti these kids have amazing charisma! He may be small but he truly packs a lot of personality into every step! Who would have thought that Akash could move so effortlessly for someone so young and with very little training.
The fox trot is one of our favorite dances and that might be partially because of the beautiful dresses that the women wear! Kamri was dressed in a gorgeous flowing gown that bellowed out into a stunning wave of feathers! With every step her dress was accentuating the lines of the dance – including the amazing aerial jump in the middle of the dance!
It’s clear that these two truly L-O-V-E dancing together and are really getting into the joy of dancing. Their smiles during the song were absolutely radiant. We loved Akash and Kamri’s sweet hug at the end of their dance. They showed such joy and overwhelming excitement as they prepared to meet the judges. There’s no question that they were pleased with their hard-earned performance and had a lot of fun in the moment!
