Dancer, Teacher, Choreographer, Musician, Composer, Business Owner & Director

Keith was born in Manassas, Virginia, and began dancing at age four. His parents wanted all their children to dance and by age 13, due to his love of the stage and performing, he was considering a professional dance career. He met his lifelong inspiration, Al Gilbert, at age 12 when he visited Al’s Hollywood studio. Al believed in him and Keith never forgot that. He went on to become a professional dancer appearing in five Dr. Pepper commercials, three Wendy’s commercials, as well as commercials for McDonalds, Dodge, Hush Puppies, Levi’s, Milk and Bob’s Big Boy to name just a few. He has also performed on stage in "42^nd Street" on Broadway as George M., as well as in "A Chorus Line" and "The Pajama Game." His dance talents have also led him to appearances on the Academy Awards telecast, and performances with Tim Conway, The Carpenters and on "Midnight Special." Keith is also an accomplished ballet dancer who has appeared on stage in "The Nutcracker," "Swan Lake," "Le Corsaire," "The Firebird" and various neo-modern works with Lawrence Blake and Vicky Koenig, as well as three ballets with the Los Angeles Chamber Ballet. Not only an accomplished dancer, he helped found an international dance convention and Hollywood dance studio in 1990, was commissioned to restructure the entire syllabi in tap and jazz for The New Zealand Association of Modern Dance, and is an award winning choreographer. He received the Drama-logue’s Critics Choice Award for Best Choreography of a Musical for "Anything Goes" with Ellen Travolta at South Coast Repertory Theater as well as the Renowned Dance Teacher Award from The Northeast Dance Teachers of New Hampshire.  Keith is a very versatile teacher who moves fluidly from smooth Lyrical, to thrashing Jazz, to classical Ballet, to Tap that’s anything from Astaire to Stomp. He’s a dynamic teacher and we are excited to have him with us!
