About Kelly Casanova
Kelly Casanova, formerly Kelly Buckwalter, is a two time US Open Swing Dance Champion. Kelly has been teaching West Coast Swing locally throughout the San Francisco Bay Area since 1981. Although her weekly classes are based in Mill Valley, Santa Rosa, and Emeryville, she has spent much of her career traveling throughout the United States competing, teaching, and judging. Kelly has taught workshops and judged at a variety of major national conventions. In 2006, Kelly was inducted into the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame.
In November 2004, at the US Open Swing Dance Championships, Kelly was inducted into the National Swing Dance Hall of Fame. This National Hall of Fame is a lifetime achievement award for Swing dancers, from around the country and from the various styles of Swing, whose long-time contributions and accomplishments have contributed to the growth and prestige of swing dancing. Through dancing, competing, teaching, judging and/or promoting, Hall of Fame inductees have shown distinction in exemplifying the highest standards of leadership, ethical conduct, and local and national service, resulting in a body of work with a far reaching and significant impact on Swing dancing. Beyond mere enjoyment and participation, they have given of themselves and is the highest honor awarded to a member of the Swing community.
