Team Spotlight: Ms. Kelly-Ann Lodato

When Chrissy and Jacque started Edge 20 years ago, there were a few special people who joined them and have remained part of our Edge family ever since — and we are thrilled that Kelly-Ann Lodato is one of them!

Kelly-Ann is a dedicated and talented member of our Edge Dance Center teaching team. An alum of Edge herself, she has been part of our studio since we first opened our doors in 2006!

A graduate of Montclair State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, Kelly Ann is also a Dance Masters of America Board Certified Instructor and a former member of the Andrea Mychaels Dance Project, among many other accomplishments. Her creativity, warmth, and joy shine through in every class she teaches.

Kelly-Ann has a wonderful family — her husband Brian and their two children, Adalyn and Cameron. She spent time focusing on family and their new home, and we’re so happy to have her back sharing her love of dance with our students.

Kelly Ann currently teaches our youngest dancers from Laurel Tree Academy and recently joined our Thursday classes in Lumberton.
