Getting to Know You: Miss Kellyann!
Written by Joe Naftal on October 15, 2019

Today we are featuring Miss Kellyann in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You”!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

Why do you love teaching at Dance Connection? I love teaching at Dance Connection because I love the upbeat environment and getting to be involved in the recital and all the fun events that come with teaching here. 

What do you love about dance? Dance has always been something I was comfortable with and something I never got tired of. It’s important to find that one thing you love because then you always have something to come back to after a rough day. I will be a dancer forever!

What do you do in your spare time? I love to hang out with the people who are most important to me. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably listening to music!

What’s your go-to coffee order? It doesn’t matter what cafe, caramel macchiato with regular milk!   

What’s your favorite vacation spot? I went to Arizona over the summer and it is now my favorite place! 

What’s your favorite local restaurant? Local burger on Bayshore Main Street definitely is my favorite local restaurant. The Mac and cheese is the best!!
