We are so excited to announce Katie Comparato as the inaugural recipient of the Darryl & Linda Retter Legacy Scholarship! ❤️

A part of the RAD family since she was just two years old, Katie has grown into an incredible dancer, leader, and role model. Her dedication, passion, and love for RAD truly embody the spirit of this special scholarship.

A heartfelt thank you to every dancer who applied and shared what RAD means to them. We are so proud of you all!

Congratulations, Katie! We couldn't be prouder to honor you as our very first recipient and carry on Darryl & Linda’s incredible legacy! ❤️
