This Saturday, the Ultimate Threat dance team is set to perform at the Bud Billiken Parade and Verndell “Vee” Smith II's sister said that the plan this year is to go out “with a positive attitude.”

Before the party at the park on Wednesday, kids from seven dance teams paraded about 10 blocks toward the park. Latoya Smith said it was good to see more people come out and watch the parade this year as last year it was mostly just the group itself and only three dance teams participating.

Renee Moore, mother of Ultimate Threat Dance Organization founder Verndell “Vee” Smith, gets as hug as Silent Threat Dance Team members prepare for a festival and parade. Gloria “Glo” Thomas said she has been a supportive community member of Ultimate Threat since its inception and “became a part of the community family” after meeting LaToya Smith. She said seeing the parade and festival Wednesday and knowing it has grown so much already brought tears to her eyes because “it’s what he wanted.”
