Juliana Kelly began her dance career at the age of three and continued her dance studies in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop, pointe and acrobatics at a competitive level where she competed across Canada and the United States. She completed her British Association of Teachers of Dance (BATD) associate members exam in jazz and tap and her first year of the Dance Masters of America (DMA) teacher's certification training.

Upon graduation from high school Juliana joined Downbeats Tap Company under the direction of Cathy Duncan where she danced for two years performing in the East Coast Tap Conference (ECTC), Taking the Rhythm Train, Embrace the Rhythm, Toronto's Live in Culture Campaign and many other shows across Ontario. In 2006 Juliana joined Funk Factory National Tap Dance Ensemble under the direction of Shawn Byfield. Funk Factory headlined events such as National Tap Dance Day (2006 and 2007), The Feats Festival (Edmonton, AB), Live in Rhythm and Deloitte's 50 Best Managed Companies Gala which led to multiple appearances on CITY TV's Breakfast Television and YTV. Currently Juliana is working as a member of the Toronto Rhythm Initiative (TRI), a network of tap dancers committed to voicing the artistry of Toronto's professional tap dance community.

Juliana's love of dance has also led her to many teaching opportunities across Ontario including guest choreography, master classes, summer intensives and workshops. Her main focus is as a competitive teacher and choreographer in many styles of dance, with her specialization in tap. She has received multiple overall and choreography awards for her work for creativity, musicality and technical excellence. She continues to train and attend professional classes and workshops to stay up to date and expand her education. Juliana strives to spread the love and respect of tap to all her students. She is thrilled to be a part of Kim Thomas Dance Project going into her fourth year on staff and looks forward to another exciting and successful year.
