How my journey began
Stephanie Klemons is an award-winning Broadway performer and Choreographer, most recently adding Direction to her resume. She’s a passionate educator and philanthropist who is most proud of the non-profit she founded some years ago, Katie’s Art Project. She grew up in Central New Jersey with her parents and her brother who’s now a Captain in the U.S. Air Force. When she was growing up, Stephanie studied at a number of dance studios from Gallery of Dance, to Colts Neck Dance & Theater School, and finally Center Stage Dance & Theater School where teachers Mickey Defranco and George Warren would change her life with their emphasis on work ethic and cathartic performance.
She wanted to be on Broadway since before she remembers having a reason, so she doesn’t try to superimpose one. She is grateful to be employed in the field she is most passionate about and hopes to continue to create opportunities for herself and others to effect change through art.
Stephanie lives on the beach with her wife Colleen, their son Ramsey, and two cats, Tank and Charlie.
What People Are Saying
“
I wanted to say how unbelievably helpful the taking class and standing out in the room videos were (possibly my favorites so far in the series!) The language and message were so on point, and it made me super inspired to get hungry and get at it! Also I love your getting real approach, personally. I’m very appreciative of that kind of honesty.

I feel like your experience in the industry is an incredible way for us to get nuanced information that isn’t always shared. For me, the nuance stuff is making the biggest difference (especially when it come to materials). It’s unreal to have someone like you to get info and feedback from because I know it’s not bullshit and you obviously care, but most importantly it works. (It’s already working)”

“
So much information was shared that can help anyone if you’re a vet or new to the industry. I got what I needed, specific attention and feedback was very crucial to helping me understand what I need to work on.
