Kelly is the owner of Pacific West Performing Arts, and the Artistic Director of the PacWest Performing Company.  She currently performs regionally and nationally with three dance companies, including Konkrete, Chimera, and Seattle KittyKats, and recently had the opportunity to perform at Centrum with fellow students of the Bill Evans Intensive.

Kelly’s modern, hip hop, jazz, tap, and lyrical choreography has received numerous awards, due in full to the artistic vision she and her students share.

Before opening PacWest in January of 2005, she taught at Elizabeth’s Dance Dimensions, Ninth Avenue School of Dance, Dance Academy of Bellevue, Pacific Lutheran University , and American Dance Conservatory.  Over the years she has seen former students become award-winning teachers and working dancers of their own accord.  She currently teaches Advanced Hip Hop at Kirkland Dance Center , and all levels of Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Jazz, and Modern at PacWest.

In additon to KDC, Kelly will be teaching at Cornish College of the Arts beginning in January 2006.
