Meet Our 2025-26 Captains
ELLA WALPOLE
MINI CAPTAIN
My name is Kenadi Taylor. I am a 6th grader at Ross Middle School and I am 11 years old. I have been dancing for eight years and this is my 7th year dancing at NWP. Dancing has been a part of me my entire life. I have no idea what I would do without it. I have a twin sister, Kenley, who also dances with me on the NWP youth team and we have a 1-year old brother, Knox. Fun fact, my aunt, Rylee, is on the youth team too! In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends and family. I love having lots of sleepovers during the summer. I also love going to Kings Island, going swimming, basketball and so much more. My goal for the youth is to lead our team to another gold medal and to make sure everyone makes progress in some way! I also want everyone on our team to feel loved and included! I am so excited to be the captain of the youth team.
BLAIR BEHYMER
YOUTH CAPTAIN
Blair is so excited to be the Youth captain this year! Blair is a fifth grader at St. Ignatius. This is Blair's fifth year dancing at NWP. From the time she was three years old, her passion has always been dance. When Blair is not dancing she loves to hang out with friends, play volleyball, go swimming and go to King's Island. Blair is passionate about helping others and making them feel loved. Her favorite part of dance is learning the routines and helping others be their best. Blair's favorite style of dance is jazz and hip hop. She loves to turn! Her goal this year is to have a great bond with each teammate and lead them to victory at Nationals! She feels honored to lead her team this year with kindness, energy and lots of spirit. Blair loves her dance family and there's truly no place she'd rather be!
LILLY HARRIS
JUNIOR CAPTAIN
Lilly is a freshman at Harrison High School and a dedicated member of NWP, now entering her 10th season. When she’s not dancing, you can find her in the gym perfecting her next big trick. Outside of training, she enjoys spending time with friends, listening to music, and shopping. As the oldest of three sisters, Lilly has learned the value of patience, responsibility, and empathy—qualities she brings into the studio to support and inspire her teammates. She is honored to serve as Captain of the Junior Team this season and is determined to lead them to their very first Junior Select Gold Medal at Nationals.
OLIVIA BYRNE
SENIOR CAPTAIN
Olivia is a senior at Badin High School where she is involved in the service program, National Honor Society, the Campus Ministry Team, ambassador program, and so much more. Olivia loves to shop, spend time with her friends, go to hot pilates, and go on car rides with her little sister, Morgan. She started her time here with NWP as a tiny soldier just eight short years ago, and somehow raced to her senior year. Olivia is passionate about dance, taking care of others, and leading by example, and she is easger to lead the senior team just one last time. Olivia has so many ideas for the team this year and hopes to soak it all in, and lead her team to the gold, making NWP history...again!
