Monat with Kelsey

What happens when the very things that drive you and make you feel "alive" are taken away from you over night? What happens when a global pandemic hits and takes away people's livelihoods, social connections, and for me...the arts?

Self growth happens.
Not that I wasn't growing every day in my art and always pushing myself to be better, but in 2020 I was pushed to grow and better myself in a way I never knew I needed, nor was even capable of!!

When I reflect back on the things I have worked so hard for and accomplished in even just the past 10 years, I am amazed at how far I have come.

I am so proud of who I have become because I've fought hard to get here. Not to say it was all sunshine and rainbows, because it definitely wasn't. However, when I look at the past 10 years, I realize just how much of those years have revolved so heavily around my love, passion, and drive for dance and choreography!! I mean, of course I wouldn't have it any other way because dance is my life, my career, what I have worked hardest for and what I find most happiness in...

As with many of us, so much was taken from our lives last year. During this loss though, I discovered a new opportunity, a new me, and a new set of skills I never knew I had or could be so passionate about!

I started a new business that I NEVER would have seen myself doing in a million years had this pandemic not hit... and guess what?! I love every minute of it! I have always been a compassionate person and enjoy helping others, and with this new job I am able to do exactly that! I make people look and feel their best inside and out! I am so thankful for this new opportunity and self growth!

New year, new opportunities, new growth, new me!! Cheers to anything and everything "new" that gives you life, happiness, and pushes you to grow into your best self! 😊

They say, when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!

Between making people feel and look beautiful on the inside and out with Monat, teaching aspiring youth to dance, choreographing and creating my art, to performing on a stage in front of hundreds of people... I love each and every minute I'm "working"!!

I remember reading this quote when I was much younger and it has stood out to me ever since I first read it...

I have always been the kind of person that once I set my mind on something and become passionate about it, there's no stopping me. I will MAKE. IT. HAPPEN....

When I was little I wanted to be a competitive gymnast. My parents signed me up, I trained a lot and I quickly made team and was competing almost each weekend.

In high school, I wanted to do varsity cheer. I worked hard and made the team all four years of high school.

In college I decided I wanted to pursue dance as a career. Two years later, I had my first degree in dance, was choreographing and teaching around the valley and was dancing in my first professional dance company.

At the age of 25, I decided to go back to school to get my second degree in dance. I went and auditioned for Chapman University's prestigious dance program and was accepted. I got my degree and graduated with honors. I moved back to AZ to continue to dance professionally for multiple dance companies. I have been a performer, choreographer, and gig dancer for years now and LOVE every minute.

I have always been passionate about choreography and starting my own dance company. In 2020, I started Emergence Dance Company!!

In 2020, I also became passionate about a haircare, skincare, and wellness company that not only has AMAZING products, but really changed my life in many ways. I never thought I would do something like this as my whole world revolved around dance. However, an opportunity was brought to me that I couldn't pass up and in conjunction with my art, I can do this and make a great living doing yet another thing I love and am passionate about. It is a whole new ballgame for me and I'm still figuring it all out, but I have the mindset and passion to be great at it! I will be successful and I will make it happen...

When you believe in yourself, you are unstoppable. When you have the passion for something, no one can take that away from you. Stay true to yourself and most importantly, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!

Working for a company that you love and loves you back is SO REWARDING!!

As a professional dancer, never in a million years did I think I'd be also working for a luxury hair care, skin care, and wellness company... but here I am AND loving it so much!! Helping others feel beautiful and healthy from the inside out is a wonderful feeling! And working with a team of strong, talented, and driven people is exactly what I needed in 2020!!
