Katrina Keel-Saunders has represented Beyond Boobs! as a model in A heat-shot-for-katrina-keel-saundersCalendar to Live By 2016, and on November 13 she will be taking the stage to compete in Starlets of Dance. It’s her first time performing on a stage, but she is ready for the challenge.

“I wanted to show my kids and myself that I could do this,” Katrina said. “Even though cancer has come into my life, I can still have fun. It didn’t bring me down. I feel like having cancer gave me more courage to take risks.”

Katrina has chosen a Kelly Clarkson song for her piece, and she has been hard at work with her dance instructor, Bonnie Hackett. “I’m definitely getting my workout in,” Katrina said, laughing. “Someone watching me at the studio said they were impressed. I just really hope I’m good.”

Katrina and Bonnie practice two evenings a week for up to an hour. Afterwards Katrina rushes home from practice to spend time with her husband, three children, and dog. It’s tiring, but she knows the work will all be worth it.

“I want to really send a message with the surprise ending of my dance,” Katrina said. “My kids are so happy and excited to see what I will do. I want to inspire people with my dance and show them they don’t have to be afraid to step out of their comfort zone.”
