Dancing Dolls Captain Kayla: Living In The Dream & Beyond

Well the new season of Bring It is getting ready to take off on January 23rd. As we wait, with great anticipation, to see each episode of the show, we want to take time to get to know all of the wonderful people, who are a part of the Dollhouse Dance Factory and the show. We are reaching out to both Dancing Dolls and DDP to get you exclusive information and answers to your questions. Over the course of this Season, we hope to interview everyone, you have been dying to hear from and to get their thoughts and feelings on everything, "Dancing Dolls" and their own lives apart from the Dolls. Let's get started.

Our first Doll Showcase Interview is Captain Kayla. Kayla has emerged as a strong dancer and a strong leader. Since she was very small, Kayla  has always loved dancing. It was evident from a young age, she had a drive and a love for the arts and in particular, for dancing.

Since starting classes at the Dollhouse Dance Factory in 2008, Kayla seems to be in fluid motion, all the time. Simple chores and activities become a practice session for her passion. Kayla told us she has never really been involved with any other sports. She said, " Nothing else makes me feel like I feel when I am dancing". She also says, "Spending so much time together, that to say the Dolls are a "sisterhood" is an understatement. Having patience is important. Like Dianna always says, "All of our lives have ups and downs, happy times and bad ones".  Kayla said, "I have experienced life both ways."

Kayla's passion for dance was, no doubt, passed on to her, by her mom,Tina.

Tina loved dancing from childhood as well, getting involved in middle school, but then let it go. Though she didn't pursue dance, as a career, she loves to dance, anytime the chance comes around. Her dance, "The Fat Girl Shuffle" is a tribute to her love of dancing. It's also recognition of her ability to be a self confident, in control, woman. 

Kayla and Tina have a mother-daughter relationship that is what everyone hopes for with their children. Honesty, support, dedication and love. Tina says her hope for Kayla, for now and for her future, is to be happy and to live life without regrets and guilt. Tina says being a Dancing Doll has given her daughter many lessons that will benefit her throughout her life. Tina said, "Dancing Dolls has shown her the good, bad and ugliest of the world. Dancing Dolls is not a scout troop and nothing is "sugar coated". Ms. D is not always the most agreeable person, but neither is life. Being with the girls and with DDP, Kayla can always say she has got 50+ sisters and 50+ moms, that have her back."

Kayla's Dad is also a huge part of her life as well. Terrell and Kayla are very close on the show. He is involved with the show and is there for advice and support, all of the time. The fatherly influence he has, is apparent and just makes us love this family even more. They put their family ahead of personal things and focus on the best for all involved in the family.

Tina believes that Kayla is ready for whatever the world brings her. Her experience with Ms. D and the Dancing Dolls, has given her many life skills that will make her successful, whatever the future brings to her. 

We wanted to see what Kayla's plans are for the future, so we ask her what's next? She told us, her number 1 goal is to continue to dance. She also said, College is definitely in her plan but she has not made a decision on which College she wants to attend. She also says, "Owning my studio is a vision in my mind, but I am just going to follow my heart right now. I don't know exactly what my future holds, but I am going to always do what makes me happy." She told us that being Ms. D's Assistant at the Dollhouse definitely sounds good. "Time will tell", Kayla said, "I'm already the Majorette Instructor, so we will have to see if the Assistant position is next."  

Both Kayla and Tina agree that the Dancing Dolls experience has been positive and has given Kayla the lifeskills to succeed throughout her entire life. Though the show has obviously been a plus, the character and personality that Kayla has grown into, has been highly impacted by her involvement with Ms. D and the Dollhouse. No matter the future of the show, Kayla will continue to use the skills she has gained to make her life work and to be the happy person she is now, for her entire life.

As a #DDSNATION member, I will continue to root for Kayla and for Tina and the rest of their family. We are so excited to see her become a woman and to see her grow, as a part of the Dollhouse Family. Kayla & Tina have become a part of our families and our hearts, as have the rest of the girls and the DDP. It's amazing to watch all of them, as they change and grow into wonderful young women. Our future looks very bright when you see these young women becoming the next generation.

Dianna has impacted many lives in Mississippi and across the country. Her dedication to her girls at the Dollhouse, is a testament to her love and devotion, to the next generation of women and her desire to give back to the community. She not only shines her light for the girls, it shines for the DDP as well. Her legacy will live on in young women like Kayla and will be an influence in girls lives for many years to come. 

Kayla is the first, of many Dancing Doll stories, who we hope to highlight this Season. Stay tuned for our next Interview.....Thanks Kayla and Tina for letting us be a part of telling your stories. We have tremendous respect and admiration for ya'll and look forward to watching you great things. God Bless You And Your Families.
