Kellie Singh - Tamworth City Dance Academy-Principal & Choreographer
Miss Kellie's love of dance began in Inverell, where she grew up and first stepped into a studio. That passion carried her through a career spanning
three decades — from Sydney to Tamworth — during which she has inspired thousands of students and earned her ATOD Associate, Cert IV and
Diploma in Dance Teaching & Management, and Acrobatic Arts Teacher Certificate.
As founder and Principal of Tamworth City Dance Academy, Miss Kellie's focus has always been on developing great people as much as great
dancers. Her tireless contribution to the community was recognised when she was named 2026 NSW Local Woman of the Year at the ICC in Sydney,
and she was also celebrated as one of the 100 Faces of Tamworth in the town's Centenary feature in the Northern Daily Leader.
Miss Kellie is a proud and longstanding supporter of Stars of Tamworth, Dance for Cancer, for more than a decade, generously giving her time and
talent to an event that has made a real and lasting difference to the region
