Shall We Dance?

Music association and appreciation along with rhythm and timing are included in the students training. Self-discipline, dedication, goal setting, and determination are major assets gained as the students progress through the dance program.

It is our hope that when the students leave the Carroll County Dance Center they will have developed a stronger character, an excellent background in dance, and a special love and awareness of the individual rhythm and talent within themselves.

During her junior year at Radford, Kelly opened the Carroll County Dance Center in Hillsville, VA. She has seen great success in bringing the art of dance to a very talented group of young people living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia.

Since her graduation from college Kelly has participated in numerous workshops all over the country in an effort to learn the latest styles being used and developed throughout the dance world. Kelly was a faculty member with Dance Troupe Inc., a national dance competition for 15 years. She traveled throughout the United States serving as a competition judge and as an instructor of seminar classes.

Most recently Kelly has served as a guest teacher at Radford University. She was asked to teach tap within the dance department as part of their effort to bring subjects not regularly taught by their faculty.
