Ciara Hines, Trey Rich Are a Winning Dance Duo
At just 17 and 16 years old, Ciara and Trey are already accomplished dancers. In her Instagram bio, Ciara lists that she’s a Kids Artistic Revue Protégé, an Immerse Artist Elite, and a Platinum Dance Apprentice. She’s also competed at the Showstopper dance competition.
Trey has also competed at Showstopper and danced with Cerdafied Dance Studios. He also announced last year that he’s appearing in 13: The Musical, a new Netflix movie. Trey has called Ciara his “bestie” on Instagram, and they’ve performed TikTok routines together.
Ciara shared in an interview that she first took dance classes at 2 years old, and at age 11 she “became really passionate about dancing.” She said she practices five hours a day, six days a week, including three hours at her school, Duke Ellington School of the Arts.
