Kerri Ann Ford-Burns: Owner and Artistic Director

Kerri Burns has been dancing since she was two years old. Her earliest areas of study included Ballet, Jazz and Tap. She later went on to further study Lyrical, Pointe, Modern and Hip Hop. Throughout her young career, Ms. Kerri choreographed for many competitions, cheerleading squads and musicals. Kerri has been recognized in the dance community for her fine tuned dancing and creative choreography.  After high school, Ms. Kerri went on to persue her degree in Dance Education at New York University. During her time at NYU she took classes at Broadway Dance Center studying under Frank Hatchett, Mike Minery and Mia Michaels.

While at NYU, considered one of the most prestigious institutions for dance in the country, Ms. Kerri continued her passion and  taught dance on the weekends while attending school. Her Dance Education curriculum focused primarily on, but was not limited to, the study of educational psychology, anatomy, kinesiology, and choreography--along with daily technique classes in Ballet, Modern and Jazz.

In the winter of 2002, Ms. Kerri went on to broaden her education and become a certified Stott Pilates Instructor to enhance her understanding of the relationship between fitness and technique in dance.

Lastly, Ms. Kerri has taught dance to all ages in many parts of the country including Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. After having over 18 years of teaching experience the dream of opening a studio became a reality thanks to her hard work, determination as well as the love and support of her family, friends and students.
