Makenna was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, and has been dancing since she was 3 years old! From ages 5-18, she danced competitively in the studio world of dance competitions. While doing that, she was also a part of her high school's cheer team where she also won a state championship. After Makenna made the move to Las Vegas, her dream of being a collegiate dancer came true as she was a part of the UNLV Rebel Girls and Company. During her time there, she went on to win 6 national championships and create memories that will last a lifetime. Taking a short break from dance after graduating college, she knew dance was her love and couldn't let it go. That is when her next dream of being a professional dancer/cheerleader came true, and she can now call herself a Raiderette! It's been nothing short of a dream, and she's so grateful to be a part of something so special!
