My inspiration for this book was discovering how I made this happen in my own life
As a professional dancer, instructor, choreographer, judge and a 25-year dance studio owner, it is my belief that when we set goals and focus on our dreamz with planning and dedication we can achieve them.

Her inspiration
My Mom is one of the people that I admire most. Why? My mom has the brightest outlook on life and her attitude is always positive. She taught me that your attitude is what will bring you success in life. She always sees the good in everyone and her attitude is like a ray of sunshine that shines on you when you are near her. What she gave me is priceless.

Giving back
DONATE NOWOne of the reasons Kelly started Aspiring Dreamz is because she saw how a program like this helps young children find their dreamz and goals and something to help them discover a passion for their future. "Dance gave me a direction in life. It took me from someone who was lost trying to find their way to someone with a new passion and direction. I will be donating a portion of the proceeds of this book to Orange Ribbons for Jaime.”
Orange Ribbons for Jaime
Proudly donating a portion of the proceeds from every book.
I am very passionate about this organization and honoring the memory of Jaime Guttenberg, a young competitive dancer, is dear to my heart. Her life was cut short due to gun violence; something I have personally experienced.
Using the acronym “A.S.P.I.R.E.” for 6 easy steps to success
This is a results-based, proven program that is inspiring, easy to understand and fun.
The Vision
Our workshops encourage self-esteem and self-awareness by focusing each student on his or her strengths and setting attainable goals for the future.
Help them discover their own unique talent
Aspiring Dreamz classifies “qualities” as natural strengths and core strengths throughout this book, the terms are used interchangeably.
