KELLIE CARROLL is an instructor, dance teacher, director, choreographer, producer, and life coach.

For over seventeen years, Kellie Carroll has been a luminary in the field of dance and theatrical arts education. Her journey began with a film degree from KD Conservatory in Dallas and culminated in the hallowed halls of The Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. But her education was just the prelude to a career marked by both breadth and depth.

Kellie isn't just an educator; she's a performer who has shared the stage with industry icons like Destiny's Child, Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, and Jessica Simpson. Her prowess extends beyond the live stage into the realms of film and commercials, showcasing a versatility that's as impressive as it is rare.

But where Kellie truly comes alive is in the world of musical theater, especially here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. With a decade's worth of performances under her belt, she understands the local theater landscape intimately.

Yet, for Kellie, the spotlight has never been the ultimate goal. Her true calling lies in children's theater education. It's this dedication that led her to co-found Rebel Theatrics. Seeing a need for a more rigorous yet emotionally healthy approach to youth theater training, she envisioned Rebel as the answer—a place where young artists could not only develop their skills but also grow as complete, well-rounded individuals.
