Chelsi Dance - Founder/Artistic Director
Three Words to Describe Chelsi: Confident, Ambitious, Loving
I began dancing at the age of four years old at my old stomping ground, Pine Camp Recreational Center in Richmond, VA. I became one of the first dancers of their Kids Co in the Richmond City Dance Theater Competition Team. I danced with the company until I went to Henrico High School to study dance under Victoria Fink in the Center for the Arts program. In my college years, I danced recreationally in Morgan State University's dance company for two years until returning back to Richmond, VA to begin teaching private dance lessons
