Keri DeMelfi has been teaching dance for 20 years as an instructor and award winning choreographer at various studios here on Long Island. Growing up she trained and competed in every genre, but jazz and tap quickly became her favorites. Tap is now her specialty and she has dedicated her focus on promoting students to a competitive level and has helped many win countless awards and national championship titles. This is her 12th year at NSD and her favorite part about teaching is connection with the students and creating bonds that last for years, watching the kids grow from tiny dancers to graduating seniors!
