An elite all-girls' dance team that includes a Coquitlam resident will head to Las Vegas this week.
The Aldergrove-based Street Kings Academy of Dance, of which Coquitlam's Kristina Nishi-Beckingham is a member on the Dominuss team, qualified in March for the national finals at the preliminary round in Vancouver.
Three months later, in Montreal, it was picked to represent Canada at the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas.
Previously, the team — under the direction of choreographer Paul Otterbein, owner of the Street Kings Academy — won two U.S. grand champion titles; six members also competed last October at the World IDO Hip Hop Championships in Italy.
