SDA FACULTY

Keeley Pratt

Keeley is the proud owner of Shreveport Dance Academy. She has been teaching tap, jazz, and ballet for 20+ years! This year she worked with all Progressions and Elite Level tap classes, Progressions younger ballet classes, and Team SDA.

When speaking about the role dance has played in her life, she said, “My passion is for investing in my dancers and the people they become. There is no greater joy than pouring into a child for years, and then having the opportunity to watch them bloom into amazing and successful young adults. Dance has given me the opportunity to share the love of God and serve so many different families.”
