Emily Kelliher

Emily grew up in Dracut, MA, where she first started dancing at the age of 4. She trained in many styles, including ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, modern, contemporary and pointe. She started dancing competitively at age 8, performing in duos, trios and larger groups.

She went on to study Computer Information Systems at Bentley University. At Bentley, she joined both the Game Day and Competition Dance Teams. By sophomore year, she became co-caption of the Game Day team, and later co-captain of the Competition team for her senior year. Her co-captain is now her co-choreographer, Michelle Francesconi.

Emily works as a Principal Data Engineer at Fidelity Investments on their Financial Crimes Detection and Analytics team.

This is her 12th season dancing and 2nd season co-choreographing with Michelle. She cannot wait to bring another piece to the stage for season 30!
