A Dancer Recognized - Kimmay Evans

By Christian Jordan Capili

A new family, a new member that I met mid-season! Kimmay Evans, a girl that I’d say is quite extraordinary and talented as well. She’s one of those dancers that I’ve become friends with in a short time but I can really say that she has committed her life on to the route to become a really great dancer like my peers in FamBiz.

A Diamond Bar local, Kimmay Evans is 21 and graduated high school back in 2007. For 4 years she had been dancing at Dellos Dance Studio and has trained in Jazz, Lyrical, Ballet, Hip-hop, Burlesque, Street-tease, and Contemporary. Kimmay’s journey as a dancer began with “her best friend Jenise Torres and countless movies.” While this may be what sparked her love for dance, her motivation to continue the path she has begun to walk is because it was:

“My passion/emotion, it is my outlet and my way of breathing. Also my goal to tour with a major artist”

As being part of Family Bizness and also being one of the newer dancers, I asked her a few questions about her acknowledgement of the team:

CJ: "What brought you to join this team?"
KE: "I was invited to audition by Emeroy and Steph!"
CJ: "How was the experience?"
KE: "It’s like hanging out with your friends twice a week, and being able to share a deeper bond than just any other team."
CJ: "If you can define Family Bizness, what would it be?"
KE: "Forget About Me I Love You!!! It is truly family first, I don't care what other dance teams say about acting like a family, and we actually ARE."
CJ: "What are your plans for the future for FamBiz?"
KE: "To Kick Ass and to keep being unique and keep ENJOYING our dancing"

Kimmay has danced with many other dance teams that have brought her to where she is now. Her first team being Barkada Modern; other teams she has worked with are Groovaholix and Bridging the Gap.

“The difference between previous teams and this one is the absence of judgment on FamBiz. It's not about stupid politics and about being friends with particular people, we can all just like each other, it IS possible people .”

Kimmay Evans may be have been a new-comer to FamBiz, but is an experienced dancer with very strong values and beliefs. Her dedication and motivation allow her to move throughout life as a dancer; and as a result, inspire other dancers in the community. Kimmay is a testimony that with patience, perseverance, and commitment, anyone is capable of becoming great at anything.
