Teacher Kaeli Heffner (Online)

Kaeli Heffner is a recent graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she received her BFA in Drama and studied musical theatre extensively under the likes of Broadway and music industry giants such as Michael McElroy, Howard McGillin, Byron Easley, Dell Howlett and Crystal Monee Hall.

Born on the West Coast and raised on the East, Kaeli grew up singing and dancing. From an early age, she knew she wanted to spend her life making people laugh, smile, and think about their lives differently. She made her professional debut at 18 after years of performing in shows all over New York's Capital Region. With perfect pitch and a knack for picking up instruments as needed, she loves collaborating on shows and projects, but, perhaps most of all, she loves sharing her passions with kids, and has done so as soon as she aged out of her favorite summer theatre camp and became a counselor.

Kaeli currently works as an as-needed babysitter, mostly for toddlers, with Maison D'Enfants in NYC. She worked at a summer theatre camp for ages 8-15 for 4 years, as a production assistant, music director, and choreographer, respectively. She also worked as a dance teacher's assistant for a year during high school, and, last year, she got the amazing chance to choreograph a high school production of Mamma Mia! that was nominated for local awards.
