We had the good fortune of connecting with Kelly Sweeney and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kelly, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most successful factor behind my success / brand is my work ethic. Since a young age, I’ve always been extremely competitive with myself, always wanting to do better and be better. I am so passionate about my craft, so I give it my full attention and energy. It’s something I’m very proud of!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I started dancing when I was 10 years old, which is a pretty late age compared to most people who start when they’re 3 or 4 years old. Regardless of having less experience and skill, I was extremely passionate about dance and knew I wanted to get better. By age 12, I started competing in the elite category at competitions, meaning in 2 years, I had reached the level of some people who had been dancing their whole lives. This is what really taught me that hard work and dedication can take you far, regardless of time or circumstance. I spent everyday stretching, training, watching videos, and just dedicating my time to my passion. When I was 15, I signed with a dance agency in LA and started working professionally, which I never expected of myself and it’s been an incredible 3 year working with networks such as Netflix, Disney, and Nickelodeon, doing commercials and live performances, and teaching my own classes internationally in Paris and Argentina. These are opportunities I never saw coming, but I like believe life granted me with them as a reward of all my hard work and dedication to dance.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I owe so much of my success to my parents! Without their love and support, I would not be near to where I am today.
