Kelsey Crawford

Growing up in Connecticut, Kelsey received her classical ballet training at the Connecticut Ballet Company and Greenwich Ballet Academy. She attended the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theater & Dance before transferring to the Juilliard School’s Dance Division, under the direction of Lawrence Rhodes, where she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Kelsey made her professional debut with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company at the Joyce Theater, and has spent the last decade pursuing a performing career in New York City. She has performed in multiple immersive shows and events at the McKittrick Hotel, was an ensemble dancer in Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular, and most notably, made her Broadway debut in the principal role of Meg Giry in Phantom of the Opera. She has spent the last year creating, and performing in, a cabaret style show (the first of its kind!) directed by Austin Goodwin, at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania. 

While Kelsey’s teaching style is heavily technique-driven, she encourages her students to find joy and freedom in movement!

She teaches all ages and ability levels.
