INTRODUCING KELLY CHILDS

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANTED TO BE A TEACHERS ASSISTANT & WHY?

During my first Summer Camp with CREATE, I was introduced to Kavita & Charlie who were Miss Amy's TA's at the time. When I saw their involvement with the creative process & helping dancers with conditioning & technique, it inspired me to set a goal to become one as well.

SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE CLASS TO ASSIST IN? 

Currently, I don't have a favorite because I enjoy all of them!  I have however been excited to assist in our acro for dance classes due to the fact they are new for CREATE!

NOT AS A TA, BUT AS A DANCER, WHAT DANCE HAVE YOU PERFORMED THAT MEANT THE MOST TO YOU?
​
At the end of the show "Dreams," I was given the opportunity to improv for the first time on stage and danced to the song "Blackbird." I have to admit that is the most free I've ever felt. 

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A TEACHERS ASSISTANT SPECIFICALLY FOR CREATE DANCE & MUSIC CO? 
​
CREATE has given me the space to be involved constantly in the creative process of my performances. Before, when taking dance classes technique was stressed but not creativity.  CREATE completes the performance puzzle of including dance along with training me as a well developed performer in also musicality and acting. 

WHAT OTHER THINGS WOULD YOU LIKE FOR OTHERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL & A DANCER?

I love "tonight dough" ice cream & a caramel iced latte, extra caramel, light on the ice!  Dancer me... my contemporary stage name is Maleficent and I love dancing in socks!
