With over 30 years of experience teaching dance across Long Island, Kelly brings a
love of dance and dedication to every class she leads. She has worked with dancers
of all ages and skill levels, specializing in various genres and choreographing
numerous award-winning routines throughout her career.
Kelly holds a Master of Science in School Counseling and has served as a middle
school guidance counselor for over 20 years. Her dual background in education
and the arts allows her to connect with students in meaningful, supportive ways;
bringing a positive growth mindset into both the studio and educational setting.
During her college years, Kelly was a featured dancer with a DJ entertainment
company, traveling the country and performing at formal events and national
showcases as part of their high-energy performance ensemble. She also spent over
two decades choreographing middle school and high school musicals, helping
young performers find their confidence and shine on stage.
Kelly is passionate about working with children and is committed to creating a
nurturing and inspiring environment where every student can grow; not just as
dancers, but as individuals.
When she’s not teaching or counseling, Kelly enjoys cheering on the Yankees and
Knicks, exploring new travel destinations, and most importantly spending time
with her husband, son, daughter, and two dogs.
