Meet Kelly

By August 17, 2020No Comments

Meet our company dancer Kelly Korfhage. “Kelly the Shell/Kelisha/Kelly-K” is in her 5th season with the company. Her favorite pieces to perform are Adagio for Two Dancers and Schubert Waltzes by Heinz Poll and K281 by Adam Hougland. Outside of the studio, Kelly likes to care for her cactus plant collection, watch YouTube videos about anything, eat at patio restaurants, hike, craft, and spend time with family and friends. This entrepreneurial ballerina has a chair caning business (check our her Facebook page, “Caning by Kelly”) and is working on her real estate license. You can catch Kelly on stage or teaching Sunday Dance For Everyone classes!
