Singing is an expression of the heart! From a very young age, Kelly was encouraged to express her love for the Lord through vocal music. In college, she met her husband and they began the journey of full-time pastoral ministry. In that 25 years of ministry, Kelly taught High School Choral classes, directed children’s musicals and opened a private voice studio for advanced students. She participated in many community choirs and learned from the best conductors and voice experts in the country. She uses these proven techniques to help people of all ages to feel confident and prepared to praise the Lord in whatever ways He opens for them. Since moving to Portland five years ago, Kelly takes care of clients as a client care director for a top real estate broker. She has sung with the Portland Choral Arts Ensemble and now Cantico Singers. She was introduced to CYT when her son, Gavin, showed an interest in drama. She is excited to work with students of all skill levels to enable, motivate and inspire excellent vocal performance.
Lisa has been dancing and preforming since she was very young. She received a BA in theatre performance and theatre administration from Whitworth University. She has studied numerous styles of dance including ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip-hop, swing, ballroom, and latin. Since graduating, she has been active working with professional and community theatres in the Portland and Salem area stage managing and choreographing. She believes we were all made with the ability to dance, and with a little practice and instruction, we can create something very beautiful through movement. For Lisa, dance is a joyful expression of the soul, and she is excited to share that joy with others. When not working on a production, she enjoys going on adventures with her husband, Kyle, and their daughter, Alexandra.

For Sta'Cee it all began with a small part in a church play as a young kid, and slowly developed into a true excitement for drama and theater. Since then Sta'Cee has had the opportunity to be on the stage and behind the scenes in numerous productions. But her favorite roles in life include being a wife to her husband and mother to her 4 precious kids. She has worked with youth of all ages in church ministry for 25 years and has found that no matter the age group; drama and role playing have served as incredible tools for teaching. She truly delights in helping kids experience and understand God's love in such a fun and creative way.
Susan Ruddock is excited to be celebrating her 35th year with The Skylark Tappers! When Suz took her first Interpretive Dance class from Sr. Jeanine Therese, she knew she found her passion for dance. That passion parlayed into a lifetime of diverse dance forms: modern, ballet, tap, jazz & musical theatre. In 2010, Suz was chosen as a local Rockette to open the Radio City Rockettes’ show in Portland. Over the years, Suz honed her tap skills by interacting with Cholly Atkins, Brenda Buffalino, Honi Coles, Linda Sohl-Elison, Fred Strickler, local tap master Terry Brock & countless other tap masters. Suz enjoys engaging in theatre as an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer or assistant director with over 40 shows to her credit. Her most recent venture was Disney’s The Lion King for Kids.
