Kealy Whenray
‘Hi!
My name is Kealy and I am 23 years old. I am a trained dancer and I set up my business Cre8ive Steps in Oxfordshire 2 years ago. I come from a small town and often had to travel long distances to find good quality dance classes, this was not always possible as a teenager being unable to drive and having only one bus in our town which only came every hour.
I decided to set up Cre8ive Steps to bring dance experiences to everyone, no matter where you live and make it much more accessable to young people. I believe dance is a great outlet for young people it promotes health and fitness, creativity and friendships. I am extremely passionate about dance and teaching to young people.
My goal is to introduce dance to as many people as possible, whether it be for fun, fitness or a career.’
