Alethea Kelley
Studio Owner
Alethea C. Kelley began her dance journey at the age of two under the guidance of Mina B. Perry, continuing her training through college. She graduated with high honors from Dean College as a dance major and earned a certificate from the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. Alethea later completed her Bachelor of Science in Dance Education at Jacksonville University.
Her professional teaching career began in the Lynn Public School system, while simultaneously instructing dance classes in both Salem and Lynn, Massachusetts.

Through dedication and passion, she eventually became the proud owner of the studio.
