In 2016, he trained at Feijóo Ballet School under the direction of Lorna Feijóo and Nelson Madrigal. Kennedy was previously a professional dancer with the Huntsville Ballet Company. Throughout his training, Kennedy has performed many roles. Some of his favorites are Basilio (Don Quixote), Jonathan Harker (Dracula), Escamillo (Carmen), and Sugarplum Cavalier (The Nutcracker). Kennedy would like to thank Lorna Feijóo, Lorena Feijóo, Nelson Madrigal, Natalie Zundel, his parents, and Lynette Mason Gregg for everything he has become.
