Madeline Kelley, Secretary/Treasurer
Madeline Kelley, a 6th generation Brighton area resident, is pleased to join BCAC in 2025.

She spent two years at the University of Wyoming studying dance before transferring to MSU – Denver where Madeline received her Bachelors of Arts in Dance Performance.
Madeline gained first hand knowledge how an arts related non-profit organization can impact a community as the MSU – Denver Dance Program partners with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance. She has since been passionate about making the same impact in our area. She has been a lifelong dancer where she has had the pleasure of being a performer, teacher, and choreographer. When Madeline is not dancing, you can find her dabbling in watercolor paints and embroidery, along with walking her two dogs, Jack and Lucy.
