About

My name is Kelly Chapman and I am the owner and teacher here at Kelly's of Cross Lanes. I have had over 44 years experience in the dance field. Wow, that's a lot! I started dancing when I was about 6 years old, started student teaching when I was 12, began as an assistant instructor when I was 16, and taught at a Charleston studio for 10 more years before moving on and opening my own studio. I am now beginning the 31st season in my Cross Lanes studio. Since beginning at the age of 6, I have never stopped. I teach all of my classes, I try to always give you and your dancer the very best I have to give. I stay in the classroom with my dancers (though I will always make myself available to you) because that is where I belong. I want the dancers to know how much I appreciate them and how much I want to be with them.

I try very hard to always give my dancers the very best I have. I not only want to teach at a high standard level, but I want to make my girls (age 3-63) feel safe and comfortable. I want my dancers to walk thru the door and forget about all their worries and stress if only for an hour. I just want to make a little difference in their world.
