As a choreographer Kelly recently choreographed for The Laker Girls (NBA) and was one of three choreographers for NBC”s Dancing with Myself with Shakira, Nick Jonas, and Liza Koshy.

Kelly has consistently had and continues to have diverse experiences and opportunities as professional choreographer and dancer. The natural complement to all, however, is Kelly’s dedication to teaching – professionals, recreational dancers and above all, younger rising performers. Helping to create the dancer as a physical artist interpreting music – that is Kelly’s goal as a teacher. With her well rounded training background in all styles of dance, Kelly’s jazz funk style is particularly strong in cleanliness and musicality. She encourages and challenges you in her classes, with her attention to detail and high energy choreography. By teaching, she hopes to inspire the next generation of dancers and educators to become the best versions of themselves and bring out their inner artist.
