Kelly Stolar
Kelly Stolar is a native of the Buffalo, N.Y. area. Kelly had the wonderful opportunity to learn and work alongside her mother who taught dance in the Greater Buffalo area for 55 years. Following graduation from Allegheny College with a B.A., Kelly established and operated a voluntary, free dance program for over 10 years in one of Pittsburgh’s inner-city communities. During this same time, she was also a dance instructor at Michele’s Dance Center. Since moving to Erie in 2000, Kelly has been an instructor at the American College Dance Festival, Kristin’s Dance Company, and Mercyhurst College’s Summer Dance Experience. Kelly is currently an instructor at the Erie Dance Conservatory and is on the Executive Committee and was the previous Master Class Chair of the Erie Dance Consortium. Kelly continues her tap education on a yearly basis and most recently studied with Michelle Dorrance, Jason Janas, Lisa LaTouche, Aaron Tolson, and Danny Wallace. Besides her love for dance, her main love is for her husband, Dave, and their four children, Greg, Mike, Nick, and Kaeli.
