Have you added a Dynamic Dishman Dance Class to your Fitness Routine?

Meet The Instructor! Derrell Walker

Meet The Instructor!Kelly teaches dance and gymnastics classes to students

ages 1- adult at East Portland, Montavilla, and now here at Dishman Community Center. You will also

see her dancing with various groups here in Portland, including Blue Sky Ensemble. Kelly holds a B.F.A in

dance from The University of Montana, where her endeavors included performing at the Kennedy Center in the National American College Dance Festival’s gala

concert with “Prey,” choreographed by Bebe Miller. Her training includes modern, improvisation, ballet,

jazz, gymnastics, yoga, and tap. Kelly’s most recent project is a show of her own choreography, currently in

the rehearsal process. Kelly’s teaching style focuses on individuality (after all, everybody is made differently), and joy in movement, while gaining body awareness.

One of her goals is to help tap into the natural flow in our bodies. Fair warning, she has been known to re-

teach adults how to do cartwheels!

Meet The Instructor!DJ Rayley

“I totally enjoy taking Dj's Hip-Hop class Monday nights at Matt Dishman Community Center. I know that I am always going to leave her class feeling like I've improved as a dancer and that I've worked every muscle in my body. Her class has got to be the best Hip-Hop class I've ever taken.”

- Amber Starks, Conscious Coils, Founder/Owner

“Teach it so they can do it. Break it down. Verbalize it. Demonstrate it, and by all means- never stop encouraging....”

- DJ Rayley, philosophy
