training in Los Angeles and then after her family
relocated to Sacramento continued her training
under Keith Goings. During high school, she
was a member of Metro Dance Ensemble and
performed locally as both a dancer and actress
in roles including Zaneeta in Music Man at Music
Circus. After high school, she continued her training
at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood,
as a recipient of their prestigious year long
scholarship program, and then at the University
of Northern Colorado. While at UNC, she had the
privilege of choreographing for the college’s traveling
dance company, University dance shows,
and having her choreography selected for dance festivals. She graduated with a degree
in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in directing and a minor in dance. |
Kelly has had the privilege of dancing professionally throughout California and Colorado
with choreographers such as Alex Magno, Billy Goodson, and Judy Baffa-Brill. Since returning

her role as Programming Director at Oak Hills Church, and as Associate Artistic Director
for iMPACT Contemporary Dance Company. She brings to the table fourteen years of
experience teaching and choreographing jazz, lyrical, and contemporary dance. She is
also very excited these days about serving as founding and artistic director of Imprint
