Kelli Carberry is a well-known tap dancer, teacher and choreographer from North Andover, MA USA. She grew up training at her mother's dance studio, Nancy Chippendale's Dance Studios, alongside her sisters, Karen and Krissy. Kelli can be seen dancing and acting in blockbuster movies and commercials and has been teaching dance full time at her mother's studio since 2001.
Kelli first attended the IDO World Tap Championships in 2004 in Riesa, Germany and went on to compete through 2013. She was the recipient of three (3.) Gold
medals (Production 2004, Solo 2010, Formation 2010), including the 2010 Female World Tap Champion title as well as three (3.) silver (Group 2004, Trio 2012, Trio 2013) and two (2) bronze medals (Formation 2004, Formation 2013). In 2011, Kelli became a certified judge for the IDO in tap, jazz, ballet and show dance and has served as the head judge of the "Bill Fowler Battle of the Feet" since 2014. In 2015, after many years of competing in Riesa, Kelli founded the American Tap Company, which recruits and trains dancers from across the United States to attend the IDO World Tap Championships. "The IDO World Championships provides invaluable lessons. Oftentimes I say, 'if you can get on the Riesa stage, you can do anything' and I truly believe that. The level of competition at the Championships is so high, it forces dancers to show up and be their best. I have not found another opportunity in dance that brings together so many hard working, talented dancers and coaches. I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful organization that provides this learning experience for my students and has also brought out the best in me along the way."
