Today, Kevin serves as Assistant Director alongside his mom, Miss Jenn, continuing a lifelong connection to Dance Kidz that began in the studio at age 3.
Kaleigh McGranaghan
Choreographer
Miss Kaleigh started dancing most likely still in the womb. As Miss Jenn’s youngest daughter, she grew up at Dance Kidz and has spent her life training in tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, and more.
Throughout more than 15 years of training and competition, Kaleigh has earned numerous awards and titles, including Senior Miss Starbound in both 2024 and 2025 and Miss That’s Entertainment in 2024.
Kaleigh has also found her passion on the other side of the stage as an instructor and choreographer. Her work with Dance Kidz’s beginner and intermediate dancers has earned multiple choreography awards at dance competitions.
Miss Kaleigh is excited to continue expanding her dance career full time — carrying on a Dance Kidz legacy that quite literally started before she was born.
Tori Stacey
Choreographer
Miss Tori’s Dance Kidz story began at just 3 years old, when her grandmom signed her up for summer dance classes one afternoon — and she never looked back. Growing up at Dance Kidz, Tori trained in tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, modern, contemporary, and hip-hop, performing in recitals and competing throughout the years.
While in high school, Tori began assisting Miss Jenn with her youngest dancers during the week and helping with Saturday morning classes. After graduating in 2013, she stepped away to attend college but continued returning to Dance Kidz as a substitute teacher whenever she could.
In 2020, Tori officially returned to her favorite dance studio as a Saturday morning instructor and choreographer. During the week, she is a teacher at New Foundations Charter School, bringing her experience working with children both into the classroom and the dance studio.
Today, Dance Kidz remains a family affair for Tori. Her husband can be found helping out at recitals, while their little girl is already following in her mom’s footsteps and shining on the Dance Kidz stage.
Miss Bella
Acro Instructor
Miss Bella is one of the newest members of the Dance Kidz teaching team. She has been involved in dance, cheer, and gymnastics since she was a little girl, building a strong foundation in movement, flexibility, and athletic performance.
Throughout her years of training and competing, Bella has earned numerous awards and titles, including a National Cheer Championship with her high school cheer team.
This season, Miss Bella brings her experience and energy to our Acro program, where she is excited to help dancers build strength, flexibility, confidence, and new skills — and, most importantly, get to know the Dance Kidz family.
