Keira Stigelman has been dancing since she was three years old until she graduated high school. For as long as she can remember, dance has been an outlet and form of worship for her. Each year-end recital felt like a new opportunity to trust God with who He made her to be–from the body He gave her to the mind He gave her.  Since graduating from Penn Manor in 2024 and becoming a social work student at Lancaster Bible College, she has desired for dance to be brought back into her life in some capacity. She has years of experience working with children as a nanny/babysitter and is loved by her community. She is incredibly grateful that the Lord has given her the opportunity to teach dance and be blessed by so many kids pouring out their individual strengths as an offering of worship unto the Lord. Outside of the studio, She can be found spending time with the people she loves, singing on the music team at church, or working at her social work degree.
