Kelly Pelton has been sharing her love of dance and musical theater with the scholars of MPUSD for the past 13 years.  Whether she is directing the Los Arboles Middle School drama club, or teaching dance and yoga to the TK-12th grade students, Mrs. Pelton loves all styles of dance!  Kelly started her career as a professional dancer touring internationally in Japan and around the orient at age 18, touring for almost 15 years.  She enjoyed Broadway style tours, performing on RCCL cruise ships, with rock bands and children’s theater National Tours.  She has certifications in many modalities of dance, movement, yoga and meditation in hopes that she can connect with our local youth knowing that each one of us is unique.   Kelly finds joy sharing her love of the arts with her 3 daughters, and the youth of our community, as they currently start preparations for the 2022-23 season of Newsies Jr. with the LAMS after school drama club sponsored by Marina Youth Arts.
