MEET OUR PASSIONATE TEACHERS

Our team at It Factor Dance Academy is comprised of passionate and skilled instructors who are committed to sharing their love for dance with our students. Each member brings a unique blend of expertise, creativity, and encouragement to create a positive and enriching learning experience for every dancer.

"When selecting a studio for your child to dance at, you're making an investment—an investment in your child's future. Dance is fun, yes, but it also teaches valuable life lessons like teamwork, dedication, drive, pride, artistry, and so much more. What sets It Factor apart, especially with Miss Kellye, is that you get someone who truly wants the same things for your child as you do. Kellye loves the kids the way you want them to be loved, all while holding the high expectations that help them grow. She goes above and beyond for every child in her program, just as she has for mine. Kellye and It Factor are quickly becoming the next big thing in the greater Tyler area dance scene—don’t miss out, join us soon!"
