We are so excited to officially welcome Malayna to our dance family!🩵
Malayna Kelly began dancing at the age of 2 and has trained in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, acro, and musical theatre. She has been teaching and choreographing for over nine years and is passionate about helping dancers build confidence, grow as individuals, and develop a lifelong love for dance.
Malayna attended West Virginia University, where she was a member of the WVU Dance Team, and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. She also received a callback to audition for So You Think You Can Dance in New York. Throughout her teaching career, she has choreographed numerous award-winning routines at both regional and national competitions while working with dancers of all ages and levels.
Malayna believes dance is about so much more than learning steps. Her goal is to help every dancer build strong technique while growing in confidence both inside and outside of the studio. She strives to create a positive, encouraging environment where dancers feel supported, challenged, and inspired to become the best version of themselves.
She is so excited to join the Coastal Dance Academy family and can’t wait for an amazing season with all of her dancers!
