By Craig Hall, The Business Times John Kelley’s passion for dance has been front and center no matter where life has taken him in education, marriage, parenthood or career. “No matter what I’m doing or where I am in life, dance has always been an important part of it from being a part of […]
Just so you aren’t confused, I am not talking about any meetings on the corner of 12th and North. No, I’m talking about downtown on Fifth and Rood.
