Kelly Demelio

Born and raised in the state of Colorado, Kelly began her dance training at the age of 3. She had an undeniable passion for dance from the very beginning. Growing up, Kelly trained at several different Colorado based studios, competing and performing on the regular, including traveling the country with Americas Got Talent runner ups, The Silhouettes. Kelly’s dance training and education continued to develop after attending Belhaven University as a dance major, dancing professionally for LA-based company, MuseEffect, and Dallas-based company SoulEscape. Kelly now dances and choreographs for the based company, Rogue Co. Dance Company.

Choreography has become Kelly’s established language. As much as she loves dancing, her true passion lies in creation and sharing artistic processes with other artists and her students. Kelly seeks to use the art of dance simply as a vehicle to inspire and positively affect the people around her. She currently teaches at DanceSpace in Erie Colorado and also travels to teach/choreograph freelance both locally and nationally. Kelly has received numerous awards and recognitions for her outstanding choreography and Concept Video productions.

In 2023, Kelly founded The p(art) Project, a two-week immersive intensive designed to give dancers a space to exist in a safe and encouraging community, explore intention and purpose in movement, and expand their perspective as artists. This project has become the heart and soul of Kelly’s artistic mission, providing a platform for dancers to reconnect with their authentic selves and trust their creative instincts. Through The p(art) Project, Kelly has found a deeper purpose in the dance industry, fostering a community where growth, connection and artistry collide.

Kelly’s desire to bring movement, music and genuine human interaction into her dancing and choreography is truly what makes her unique. She prides herself on being a role model and mentor to young dancers and is highly respected in the dance industry.
