Darren Kelly
My journey in dance began with training in the IDTA medal test system, leading me to compete in area festivals and reach the Nationwide Finals. From there, I transitioned into teaching—a passion that has shaped my career for over 20 years as an IDTA member. Together with my wife, I’ve successfully run a dance school for 20 years, guiding pupils through exams and competitions.
Beyond teaching, I contribute to the dance community as an adjudicator and lecturer, and I’ve played an active role in the IDTA Southeast committee for 19 years, including six years as Chairman. Additionally, my 19 years of corporate experience bring valuable business acumen to my approach.
With deep-rooted experience in the IDTA system, significant involvement in dance education, and a steadfast commitment to the association, I am dedicated to supporting members and driving the IDTA forward.
