## Caption

From the very first applause that echoed throughout the Kauffman Center during then-fourth-grade Elliott Daggett’s Nutcracker performance, something clicked. The spotlights, the applause, the energy — it all combined into an undeniable realization as he danced around the stage dressed up like party boy: performing was what he wanted to do.

“Hearing the applause on stage for the first time is something that blew me away,” Elliott said. “That was the moment I was like, ‘This is what I want to do, this is what I’m meant to do.’” 

After that moment, he started dedicating all of his time to his craft. Classes ramped up to five days and 25 hours a week, he chose to say goodbye to his other sports — baseball and soccer — to fully embrace dance.
