She will now perform live on stage at the switch on of Barnsley Christmas Lights in November.

Girl of many talents

The multi-talented teenager, a junior associate member of SLP college in Garforth, has been attending the Lisa Thornely School of Dance for 12 years, competing in local dance festivals all around South Yorkshire.

Four years ago, Kelsey joined Take 2 Academy Theatre in Birdwell where she has had both prinicipal, and dancing roles in most of their productions, the most recent being 'High School Musical', she will also be dancing in their production of 'Chess' in November.

Singing lessons with Take 2's musical director Helen Owen over the last 3 years, have certainly paid off. Kelsey who won the Take 2 'Academy Idol' when she was 12 also auditioned for X-Factor earlier this year.
