Tina DenmarkFemale7-10 y.o.All ethnicities

An adorable and alarmingly talented little girl who sings and dances as though she were born to entertain. When not “on stage,” she’s charming, courteous, and, unlike most eight-year-olds, she knows exactly what she wants to be before she grows up...a big-time Broadway star! Alto/Belt. Must be able to tap. Caution! Uses some strong language.
