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 second year teaching at Rhythm and I’m excited to be back!

Fun fact: My husband and I met and got married exactly 6 months later.

Favorite Rhythm Year-End Show: Last year I had the pleasure of seeing the Year-End Show for the first time and I was blown away! I look forward to seeing what this year's show will be!

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. We are looking forward to adding another baby boy to our family this Fall! I also love to work out, travel, and read.
