Coastline Instructor Kelly Ruppert Bryan and Jeremy Bryan perform “Sweetheart Jamboree”
Kelly Ruppert Bryan has been teaching geology at the college level since 2001 and currently works full-time at Coastline College. She did her undergraduate and graduate work at UC Riverside, where she focused on geomorphology and studied glacial landforms in the Himalayas. She has a passion for teaching and making Coastline a great place for students to reach their goals, which has led her to become the chair of the Physical Sciences Department and President Elect of the Academic Senate. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her two kids, Kennedy (11) and Paxton (8), and cycling or dancing with her husband Jeremy. In fact, they met dancing in 2010 when Kelly was a beginning country dancer and he was her judge. He became her dance coach and eventual partner. They reached the rank of Masters in the UCWDC (United Country Western Dance Council) in 2016, which is the highest rank achievable. In this clip, they dance two- step, waltz, and East Coast swing at the World Championships in 2023.
