Abby Stonewall Kapp

Dance director / dance instructor

Abby was born in Florida, raised in Oregon, lived in Utah and on the east coast — Boston, New York, Virginia before returning to the Pacific Northwest.

She started dancing at age three and started dancing at Westside at five and began gymnastics at eight!

Abby danced in college then went on to dance professionally for about five years. Abby has a Masters Degree in Business/Communications. She Performed with several dance companies and in off-Broadway shows in NYC, choreographed a musical, and worked on Dancing with the Stars.

She started teaching at Westside when she was 16, and came back several summers, but has since been back for nine years. One of her favorite things about teaching is watching the passion for dance grow within each student. She also loves watching the dance friendships and relationships grow as they learn together!

When she isn’t dancing and teaching, she loves being with her family (husband and three kids), traveling, and her side hobby — photography! She has two girls who dance in Westside's Performing Company and Troupe.
