About

Carolyn McKeefry has been developing young dancers at Khandallah Ballet Academy  since 1992.  Carolyn has been a successful private sector dance teacher in Wellington since 1986 and has two schools - Khandallah Ballet Academy and Carolyn McKeefry Dance Academy. ​
Carolyn has had a varied professional career in various dance forms.
Carolyn is a member of Royal Academy of Dance - London, International Dance Teachers' Association - London, and an Associate (National) of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, London.    ​​
Philosophy
"I have always held the belief that anyone can study classical dance irrespective of their body type.  The many by-products of dance – deportment, posture, presentation, co-ordination, core strength, muscle tone, self discipline and flexibility, to mention a few – can be of benefit to everyone to be carried with them throughout their lives. Late starters are especially encouraged and accommodation is made for them in the timetable. ​"

She continues to dance with and choreograph for a community dance group Crows Feet Dance Collective and has several weekly classes for 'the mature body' in the Wellington area.


​Carolyn has been both a guest tutor and performer in India and held a series of workshops/classes in Middle Eastern Dance  another of her specialties.
