Kelly McAuley has been a faculty member at the Colleges of the Fenway Dance Ensemble for over 15 years. She received a BA from Oklahoma City University and an MS from Boston University. Kelly comes from a family where dancing is a way of life. She traces her dancing lineage through her mother who is an accomplished dancer and teacher along with her grandparents and great uncle, the late Gene Kelly.

Kelly has performed locally with BU on TAP and Synchronicity Dance Company, in various regional productions throughout the country, and on-screen in feature-length film Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench. Additionally, her choreography has received accolades throughout the southern US.

In the studio, Kelly believes in challenging dancers to become both organized, creative individuals as well as skilled technicians. Above everything, she believes that dance should be fun and accessible to all. When she’s not dancing, Kelly can be found writing about dance at 8CountContent.com
