About Kelly McCain

Seeking creative endeavors. Having trained in and taught several dance styles including modern, jazz, ballet, and tap has provided me with a high level of versatility. From setting work that compliments the needs of the show and abilities of the cast, to working with a wide range of ages and skill sets, I pride myself on helping to bring the director’s vision to life. And while I believe in a high standard of professionalism for the rehearsal and production process, maintaining an upbeat atmosphere that builds confidence in the cast is essential for success. A happy dressing room is a happy audience.Contact me and let\'s talk about making art.BIO: Kelly McCain received her MFA from Texas Woman’s University and is an experienced choreographer, teacher, and performer in the DFW area.
