An 11-year-old dancer from Highland Park will get her chance to show off her moves to a crowd of thousands when she shares the stage with pop star Justin Bieber during his visit to Chicago later this month.

Jordyn Shapiro, a dancer at Soul2Sole Dance, which has studios in Highland Park and Buffalo Grove, was one of eight kids chosen to perform with the singer during Bieber's Chicago concerts for his The Purpose World Tour. Shapiro will be on stage for the Friday, April 22, concert.

Desiree said that Jonathan knew his “Purpose” as early as age seven that he wanted to be a hip-hop dancer. Talking to her, it’s clear that Jonathan has worked hard to get to the level of Bieber back-up. Between rushing from school to home for a quick bite and more practice, Desiree estimated that Jonathan logs an additional eight hours of practice every weekday. Weekends are usually reserved for competitions.

When she was asked about meeting Justin, she said that “Jonathan is as excited about meeting the dancers” as he his about meeting Bieber. Jonathan is scheduled for a tech rehearsal and a meet and greet the day of the show.

Break a leg, Jonathan. Just try not to upstage Bieber, or else he might make you sing “Sorry.”
