Proud mom Catherine Jones e-mailed that her daughter Kara is high-kicking with the Rockettes in the Chicago/Des Moines tour of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, continuing through Jan. 30.

 

“Last May, Kara was selected as one of only 20 dancers nationwide (out of close to 1,000) to be a Radio City Rockette!   She will be in Chicago through Dec 2. Kara’s dance training includes College-Conservatory of Music, Otto M Budig School of Cincinnati Ballet, and Ballet Tech. She performed several years with Cincinnati Ballet in “The Nutcracker” and was one of Cincinnati Ballet’s original Venture Dancers.” 

The 2003 St. Ursula Academy grad went on to Mercyhurst College and graduated in May with a BFA in Dance. She is currently on the faculty of Midwest Ballet Theatre. Her mom adds, “You can see Kara as a Rockette by searching online: Kara Jones/Rockettes.”
