Janiyah Myles, 4, of Murphysboro, cheers with the Beautiful Ones on Thursday in front of a group of senior citizens at Prairie Living in Chautauqua in Carbondale. Her mother, DeOndra Myles, said she couldn’t afford to put Janiyah in a dance group until she found the Beautiful Ones. “She treats my daughter like her daughter, and my daughter really loves her,” DeOndra said of LaTrisha Pettis-White, the dance group’s creative director. — March 31, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.
