Kelly Bateman, Business Manager

As of November 2022, Kelly took over as business manager for Gobel School of Dance (GSD) and is loving her new role. She is enjoying getting to know the dancers and their families. Kelly appreciates the patience and understanding from all, including her own family, as she settles into her new position.

Kelly is mom to dancers Rylee and Tessa and future dancers Quinn and Lucca. Kelly also has been taking ballet at GSD and loves being able to dance alongside her daughters. This past May, her husband, Matt, joined her onstage playing the roles of “King & Queen” in GSD’s production of Sleeping Beauty.

In her free time, Kelly works to improve the smiles of children in East Texas as a dentist in practice with her husband. Additionally, she has a passion for baking, traveling and spending time with family. 

Kelly is so thankful to work alongside Katie Parr as they continue to bring quality dance to our community. Kelly is grateful for the support of her family as she is able to pursue a passion for the arts and a love for dancing!

Kelly and Matt are also excited to be performing in this fall’s Dancing with the Nacogdoches Stars with Katie Parr as their coach!
