VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK DANCE INSTRUCTORS

ASHLEY COSTA Ashley started dance classes at Stage Door Dance Academy at the age of 5. By 12, she realized that dance was her passion and continued her training at the American Dance Center. It was here she was selected as an Illinois Delegate to compete in an International Dance Competition. She was a company dancer with The Young Americans Performance Arts Company in California. She received her Bachelors Degree in Science, majoring in Elementary Education from Saint Xavier University. After graduating, Ashley became the Youth Dance Education Director at a private studio where, as the studio’s only instructor, she created, choreographed, and directed an entire recital with all the classes she taught. Ashley was the Varsity Dance Coach at Mount Assisi Academy and created the first competitive varsity team at Queen of Peace High School and has been a dance teacher at the Village of Orland Park since 2013. She has choreographed numerous projects for school fundraisers as well as choir and musical performances. Ashley has been trained in the areas of jazz, hip hop, ballet, tap, lyrical, musical theatre, and swing. There is nothing that gives her greater joy than sharing her passion of dance with her students and watching them grow as individuals throughout their training. KATHIE HORAN Kathie began dancing at the age of seven with the Dennehy School of Irish Dance. She began teaching with them, under the instruction of Dennis Dennehy, a founding member of Irish Dance in Chicago, when she was sixteen years old. She is still teaching at the Dennehy School in Chicago to this day and is proud of the history that she is able to share with the dancers. Kathie competed at the regional, national, & world championship level, travelling throughout the United States and Ireland. She loves to teach children how to dance and has been with the Orland Park Recreation & Parks Department for over 20 years. JACKIE LEWIS Jackie danced with the Village of Orland Park from the age of two to sixteen years old. She was a member of the Orland Park Dance Company for six years while also studying at Lou Conte Dance Studio in Chicago and Dance Images in Tinley Park. At Lou Conte, she trained under renowned ballet mistress Birute Barodicaite, modern dancer Kristina Fluty, and many other notable names. She also studied in Hubbard Street’s Summer Intensive for three years in a row. Jackie has extensive ballet, modern, and jazz training with some aerial dance expertise as well. While studying Art History at DePaul University, Jackie was recruited by Noumemon Dance Experience and performed at various venues and festivals such as Dance Chicago. Jackie has been working at the Recreation Department since 2011. KRISTIN LUX Kristin began dancing when she was two years old. She trained at Applause Dance Academy in Chicago for over 14 years under the direction of Mary Marks and later studied under Jay Fagan, an international recognized tap master and choreographer. She is trained in many areas of dance including ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop. As a student of dance, she participated in numerous competitions and workshops, all of which help her succeed as an

instructor today. Kristin has choreographed for many community projects, special events and area high schools. She has choreographed for Curtain Call Community Theatre and JV and Varsity level dance and poms teams. She currently directs the award-winning competition teams, is director of the dance company and teaches numerous classes at the Village of Orland Park. Most recently, she has taken over the role of Sr. Program Coordinator for the dance program. With nearly 20 years of teaching experience, she continues her dance education by attending master classes, workshops and conventions often. Kristin loves teaching dance and sharing her passion with others. She hopes she inspires her students as much as they inspire her. JORIE PUDIL Jorie began dancing at the age of 2. She was only a tap dancer until the start of high school. Upon entering her freshman year of high school at Mount Assisi Academy, she made the JV competitive team. The next 2 years she spent on the MAA Competitive Varsity Team, where they placed at sectionals and went down to state. Due to a school closure, she continued her senior year at Queen of Peace and started a Varsity Dance Team, qualifying for state as a first year team. She continued her education at Valparaiso University and was part of the collegiate level dance team. She appeared on ESPN a few times and danced for the March Madness tournaments. Out of undergrad now and a year into graduate school, Jorie is on her second year of coaching competitive dance at St. Laurence High School. She is a new addition to the Orland Park dance program as of March, 2021. KAYLEIGH PUDIL Kayleigh started dancing at Tip Tap Toe Dance Studio at the age of three. She took tap until she was fourteen, and then continued her dance career in high school. She performed on her high school pom’s team and competed on her school’s competitive dance team in the genre of jazz and lyrical. Her favorite dance memory is competing in “The Greatest Showman” themed routine and being just a few points shy of making it down state! She loves working with kids and helping them to grow in their dance skills. Kayleigh hopes to follow in her dance coaches’ footsteps. Her goal is for her students to have fun, build their confidence and find a passion for dance like she did when she was their age. JESSICA TALWAR Jessica (“Jess”) Talwar is one of the Village of Orland Park’s very own. She has participated in the Village’s dance program in some capacity (student, teacher’s aide, and now instructor!) for nearly 20 years. She has been trained in ballet, jazz, tap, pointe, lyrical, and modern under the wing of Colleen, Kristin, Ashley, Gwen and Victoria, in addition to the South Asian dance genre Bhangra. Beyond being a dance student, Jess is a recent graduate of Loyola University Chicago, where she studied Statistics and Political Science. She lives in downtown Chicago and works in business management/IT consulting in the West Loop. As a Chicagoan, Jess pursues her passion of teaching and working with youth outside of the dance studio as a volunteer with Chicago Public School students in the after-school tutoring program “Tutoring Chicago.” The lessons learned as a tutor with Tutoring Chicago impact her work with students at the Village, and vice versa. She is excited for another year ahead with her beloved students!
