Palm Haven's Katee Shean came in 3rd in "So You Think You Can Dance" but she will always be Number 1 to us!

Katee Taira Shean
was born and raised right here in Palm Haven. She started dancing at the age
of 4 and has been burning up the dance floor competition for the “So You
Think You Can Dance” television show in Los Angeles. The judges loved her,
we loved her and we're all certain she has a bright future.
