Dance Lessons in Kerman

With eclectic backgrounds in ballet, Scottish Highland dancing, and environmental law, California Arts Academy co-owners and directors Julie Ann Keller and Christopher Campbell bring their students their own distinctive expertise and worldviews. Backed by a cadre of instructors, the duo strives to create a space where kids can freely express themselves through gymnastics and musical theater and can elaborate tap-dance routines that summon the ghost of Fred Astaire. Not content to just offer classes, Keller and Campbell regularly hold auditions for family-friendly performances, such as Pollyanna and Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr., where all who audition perform in front of a rapt audience.
