Kerry Healy began her dance training under Julia Wilkinson Manley at the age of 5 at Ballet Nouveau Colorado and continued at Colorado Conservatory of Dance. She attended the Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program under Alonzo King with Dominican University of California, where she earned a BFA in Dance. While in San Francisco, Kerry worked with artists such as Gregory Dawson, Maurya Kerr, Christian Burns, Arturo Fernandez, Alice Klock, Alex Ketley, and Sidra Bell. Throughout her career and training, Kerry attended intensives at San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, Henny Jurriëns Dance in Amsterdam, Compass Coaching Project with Dominic Walsh, Gaga Lab, Sidra Bell Dance New York Module, Salt Dance LINK Festival, Whim W’Him Winter Intensive, and Carmel Dance Festival. She has danced with Wonderbound, Nosilla Dance Project, T2 Dance Company, and Wild Heart Dance, in addition to performing as a Guest Artist in Dominic Walsh’s Cinderella and the Evil Stepmother.
Kerry has been teaching dance for over 4 years and loves to create a collaborative space where we can support and learn from one another. Kerry’s goal as a teacher and choreographer is to create opportunities for expression and allow her students to make choices throughout class. Whether her students work to become professional dancers themselves or to pursue other careers, this improvisational way of thinking allows the dancers to adapt in class, performances, and life. Kerry believes that form follows function. There is a physiological reason that we position our form in specific ways. She encourages her students to ask why and how in their movement investigations.
Kerry is thrilled to be a part of Colorado Movement Lab, which brings her love for exploration, learning, and movement together in a supportive, passionate environment. CML allows Kerry to be excited for the future of dance and thankful for the support it will give to the dancers of today and tomorrow.
