Kelsey Lynn, Owner & Director
Kelsey has been dancing since the age of 3. She grew up in Homestead, FL, where she trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, lyrical, pointe, acrobatics, and pom. In college, she was a member of UCF's Dance Team, competing at the national level and performing at sporting events for the school.
After graduating with a degree in Education and a minor in Dance, she became an elementary school teacher and also taught at a local dance studio, working with dancers from age 3 all the way to adults!
When she moved to Key West in 2023, Kelsey achieved a long-time goal: starting her very own dance company. Key West Dance Tribe was born in 2024. It's a program that not only teaches technical skills and develops well-rounded dancers, but also helps students build confidence, friendships, and a love of dance. Kelsey is so excited to keep sharing her knowledge and passion for dance with the Key West community! 🩰💃🏻
“I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Key West Dance Tribe and Ms. Kelsey! My daughter has been dancing with Kelsey for the past two years, and watching her grow not only as a dancer, but also in her confidence, has been so special.
Ms. Kelsey is absolutely amazing at what she does. She is patient, encouraging, loving, and genuinely cares about every single one of her dancers. She has a way of making the girls feel comfortable, confident, and excited to come to dance each week. You can tell that this is so much more than just a business to her; she truly puts her heart into her studio and her dancers.
As a parent, there is nothing better than knowing your child is somewhere she feels happy, supported, and loved while also learning and being challenged. We are so thankful for Ms. Kelsey and everything she has poured into our daughter over the last two years.
We absolutely love being part of the Key West Dance Tribe family and wouldn’t want to dance anywhere else! ❤️🩰”
“My daughter has been taking hip-hop classes with Kelsey for the past two years, and it has truly become one of the highlights of her week. She absolutely loves going to class, and a big part of that is how much she loves the music and choreography Kelsey chooses.
She especially enjoys the modern, fun dances Kelsey teaches and is always excited to learn the newest routine. She’ll come home talking about the songs and showing us the moves she learned in class, which has been so wonderful to see!
Kelsey has such a great way of choosing music and choreography that the kids genuinely enjoy while still helping them grow as dancers. We are so grateful for the fun, creativity, and memories she has given my daughter over these past two years. She can't wait to get back to it next week.”
“Key west dance tribe is the absolute best! 🩰 My daughter loves Ms. Kelsey! 🩷& The recitals are amazing! 😍 All of the girls are seen & included ✨️🌸”
“If you are looking for an amazing dance teacher, look no further than Ms. Kelsey at Key West Dance Tribe! My daughter Camila takes both hip hop and jazz/lyrical classes with her, and she jumps at the chance to go to class every single week. Ms. Kelsey has a true gift for making dance both technical and incredibly fun, and Camila absolutely loves learning from her. The recitals at Dance Tribe are a testament to how hard she works; they are always perfectly organized and a total blast for the families to watch. We are so grateful for the positive impact Ms. Kelsey has had on Camila, and we highly recommend her!”
“We absolutely love Key West Dance Tribe! My daughter takes the Tiny Tots Ballet class and has such a great time every week. She is always asking when her next practice is, which says so much about how much she enjoys being there! 🩰💗
Kelsey is absolutely amazing with the kids. She is so patient, kind, encouraging, and does such a great job making the classes fun while helping the girls learn. We are so happy we found Key West Dance Tribe and would highly recommend it to anyone!”
