Stacey Blakeman has been involved in the world of dance for over 20 years. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, she received training in several dance styles including tap, jazz, ballet, musical theater, and modern and character dance. While earning her Bachelor's Degree in Humanities at the University of Louisville, Blakeman taught dance to children throughout Louisville. Later, working as a substitute teacher in the Boston public school system, she honed her skills as an educator. While there, she continued to develop as an artist educator and mentor, teaching dance in an after-school program and working as a private nanny. Now, planting new roots in San Francisco, Blakeman is very enthusiastic about working as the Dance in Schools and Communities (DISC) Coordinator for the Center for Dance Education and helping the children of her community by enriching their lives through dance and arts education.
