Over the course of one season, “Supa Girlz” weaves together Traci’s compelling personal story with those of her young, new dancers, Kiara Laster, Kevonni White, Jaida Sumlar and Jayla Dorsett, to paint a powerful portrait of rebirth and renewal in one of America’s most vibrant and influential inner cities.
