A California native, Kimberly Fedele-Kaye moved to Las Vegas with her family at a young age, where she later began her journey into the world of dance. She started her formal training at the Trinity Conservatory of Performing Arts at the age of 15, specializing in Ballet and Modern dance. Despite starting her training later than most, Kimberly decided to pursue a career in dance. 

Her academic journey began at the College of Southern Nevada, where she trained under Kelly Roth and was deeply involved in the dance program for nearly two years. She then transferred to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performance and Choreography. At UNLV, Kimberly trained under esteemed professionals such as Dolly Kelepecz and Louis Kavouras, who helped refine her artistry and deepen her understanding of dance. During her collegiate years, Kimberly developed a profound passion for addressing the mental health challenges faced by dancers. Inspired by this realization, she dedicated herself to making a positive impact on her local dance community, ultimately leading to the creation of Elemental Dance Company.

She founded Elemental Dance Company out of a desire to create a space where dance is more than just a performance; it's a form of expression, connection, and healing. She wanted to build a company that prioritizes artistry, community, and personal growth, allowing dancers to explore movement deeply while engaging audiences with meaningful stories. Kim's goal has always been to support dancers, spark conversations, and inspire change through the transformative power of dance.
