Fourteen-year-old Chickasaw dancer Paisley Mitchell's skills, attitude and talent stand out on and off the stage. Traveling throughout the region, Paisley has taken top honors in competition. She practices nearly every day at the Central Oklahoma Dance Center in Ada, working to perfect her technique and the choreography of her ballet, hip hop, contemporary and jazz routines. "She works hard," says Cara Crawford, Paisley's dance teacher. "She loves the challenge."
