Niko Gilliam-Cotman (above) threw down to the Black-Eyed Peas’ “Boom, Boom Pow” before switching it up country style to “Cotton-Eyed Joe” on his way to earning first place in the senior division in New Kent Elementary School’s Fourth Annual Talent Show on Feb. 22. Logan Rooks (below) played “Hungarian Dance” on the piano before showing off his moves on the dance floor to the song “Dynamite” in claiming first place in the primary division. At bottom, Carrington Coyle claims second in the primary division by singing “Call Me Maybe.” The singing duo of Allison Sours and Alyssa Roberts, the dancing quartet of Kiersten Fuller, Elena Gutierrez, Emma West, and Sarah McGinley, and harpist Lauren Carlton all tied for second in the senior division.
