The Fantanas: SUMMER - The Athlete
AGE: 19
Straight out of The Garden State comes the newest member of the Fantana team - Shakira! And she couldn't be a more perfect addition to the group - she's been dancing since she was three. "Dancing brings joy to your body and you don't have to say anything. You don't need words. If you just move your body you can tell the person is happy." Shakira will no doubt be a great influence on the Fantanas' already awesome dance routines. When asked what it means to be a Fantana, Shakira smiles widely. "I think it means to be bubbly, fun and help everyone else have a good time. They are doing something they love and getting everyone else to love it as much as they do."
