Michelle Gravlee is a graduate from Belhaven College. Her dance emphasis is ballet. Michelle recruited for Belhaven's dance department after graduation and auditioned dancers from all over the country. Most recently she served as assistant manager and Ballet instructor for the Colorado School of Dance in Parker. Her joy is choreography, and she loves having fun in her classes. She uses a large variety of music believing that Ballet doesn't have to be danced only to classical music. She is looking forward to teaching ballet technique and variations this summer for Dance Dimensions!
KERI CAMPBELL,,a graduate of C.U., has been recognized for her choreography in such far away places as Germany, and honored with many awards including the Outstanding Choreography Award at the LADF regionals. Her performance credits include performing at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. for the Jazz Dance World Congress. She believes that the teacher should provide students with the specific insights that each individual student needs. For a young dancer, that may mean conveying the joy of dance, or self-esteem, or awareness. For a more advanced dancer, possibly working on the finer points of technique or performance.
Keri will be working with the Starbound dancers along with Tiffany Leise. It is a great joy for the studio to welcome back this extraordinary mentor for up and coming dancers, and a valuable resource for everyone.
