varsity letter at Central Michigan University.

Hoops Cheerleading Team. Kristi danced in numerous events around the city
including Camille’s Hair Salon’s Fashion Shows in 1992 and 1993, the National
Baptist Convention in 1997, and. Kristi was offered a faculty position at the
Gospel Music Workshop of America in 1997.
Kristi danced in Sacred Works of Duke Ellington in February in
1998. Due to car accident in March 1998 Kristi dance career slowed. Kristi was
advised to try to rehabilitate through staying active therefore she accepted the
position at GMWA and taught in 1998 at the Philadelphia Convention. Kristi’s
efforts to rehabilitate failed and has had seven ankle surgeries since the accident.
Kristi’s dance career has been ultimately stifled as a result of this. Kristi still
retains her faculty status with the Gospel Music Workshop of America although
she is inactive.

To whom it may concern,
I am the owner of Louis Benton Steakhouse,
located in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan.
Sounds Of The Motor City performed for
several years in our upscale white tablecloth
lounge. We generally would rotate
entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays, but
only one group had a long term contractSounds Of The Motor City. We found that
Sounds consistently held our large weekend
bar patrons, and our sales were excellent
during and after their sets. The group is
defiantly professional and very dependable. I
would welcome any calls regarding Sounds,
and would engage them in the future without
hesitation.
