Legacies perform for President Trump, India’s Prime Minister

Vandegrift Legacies dance team performed at a rally in Houston on Sunday called “Howdy, Modi!” which was hosted for President Donald Trump and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Legacies were invited to attend and the dancers “convinced” director Holly Lyons to accept the invitation. The girls agreed to extra practices to prepare for the once-in-a-life-time event in front of a sold out crowd.
