Kerry Kick has been the face of Line Dance Thursdays since it started here at THE RANCH over 10+ years ago! She brings with her a love of dance that goes back over 40 years and was developed with her BFA in Dance Choreography from UCI in the 1990s. She has grown up dancing in OC since 1985, performed 3 years in local OC musical theater, and ran a dance studio for 2 years in Atlanta, GA.

Shelly

Shelly started her dancing career at the age of 8 with ballet lessons in Arroyo Grande, CA. She continued her dance training while attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, receiving a minor in dance and participating as a member of the college’s dance company. It wasn't until 2000, after visiting a friend near Nashville, that Shelly discovered her love for country music. In 2007, Shelly decided to sign up for as many Line Dance lessons and Two-Step/Partner lessons that she could fit into her schedule. She was able to combine her love for teaching dance and country music when she started getting requests to teach private lessons and was asked to substitute for her instructor. Shelly has a passion for helping others learn to dance and uses this passion to teach at THE RANCH Saloon on Saturdays at 6:30pm and 7:15pm!

Kimberly

Kimberly always loved dancing ballet, tap and jazz at a very young age. She found her passion for Country music, 2 step and line dancing in 1990 after watching a friend dancing the 10-step and it became her mission to learn all the local line dances. In 1991, she began providing private lessons and stepped onto her first stage to teach at The Barn in Tustin. She also taught at the Country Rock Cafe in Lake Forest and most notably the World Famous Crazy Horse at the Irvine Spectrum. Kimberly has choreographed Save a Horse, Dirty Boots and co-choreographed “Workin for a Livin” with Shelly Graham. Kimberly has been a dance instructor at THE RANCH Saloon since opening in 2011. You can find her teaching with her bright smile, infectious humor and love of sharing as a Guest Dance Instructor here at THE RANCH Saloon! Kimberly enjoys teaching Country dancing for all ages!
