Chelsie Smith

Acro Instructor

Birthday: April 5

3 phrases to describe my dance background: 

1. I grew up dancing competitively at Lee’s School of Dance in my hometown of Butler, PA, where we were a part of Dance Masters of America
2. I danced on both the jazz and hip hop dance teams during college. After college I danced professionally for 3 years for a D-League basketball team in Erie, PA
3. I’ve spent the last decade teaching at several different studios in PA, NC, and now GA! Along the way I became certified as an Acrobatic Arts teacher, and I’ve also taught ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, and lyrical to students ages 3-16.

Rhythm Role: Acrobatic Arts Teacher.

Years Teaching at Rhythm: This is my first year teaching at Rhythm and I am so excited to be joining the team!

Fun fact: My husband and I met and got married exactly 6 months later. We recently welcomed our first daughter, and I can’t wait until she becomes a Rhythm dancer in just a few years!

Favorite Rhythm Year-End Show: I have yet to see a Rhythm show, but seeing all the posters at the studios from previous years makes me very excited to be a part of it for the first time this year!

When not at Rhythm, I’m working as a speech therapist, or you can find me spending time with my wonderful husband, awesome stepson, and beautiful daughter. I also love to work out, read, travel, and try new foods.
