Elizabeth Killian-Keup 

Elizabeth jumped into ballet at the age of three at her local recreation center.

After mastering butterfly wings and dancing in Thornton’s Winterfest

multiple times, she progressed to Premier School of Dance, where ballet

became her passion. After falling in love with the Nutcracker, she moved to

Colorado Ballet’s Academy where she danced various roles in the Nutcracker.

Her dance ensemble competed in the national finals of the YAGP competition

in New York. City. She also studied under Amanda Mckerrow and John

Gardner during off seasons as well as trained with the Colorado Conservatory

of Dance. Her love of dance carried her to Oklahoma City to dance with the

Oklahoma City Ballet for the 2021-22 season. But alas, Colorado lives in her

heart, where she returned to marry her now-loving husband. Currently, she

relishes sharing her joy of dance with others. Elizabeth trained in all forms of

dance throughout her career but harbors a special passion for Ballet

technique. She is extremely excited to start her journey with her new students

this year and see their growth throughout the season.
