Kelsey Billiot has been teaching in classrooms around Lafayette Parish with the PACE program since 2015. As a teaching artist, she crafts creative movement lessons that include arts integration, social emotional learning skills, and curriculum connections.

Through this work, she has executed grants and programs that expand upon movement into self care and wellness. Her art is expressed through Space Lafayette, an artisan dance company. She created Breathe & Move in the Fall of 2019, as a response to the growing ask for movement and wellness in classrooms.

She finds inspiration in nature and real life experience to enrich her work. In 2022, her work evolved to speaking to educators and counselors on these topics.
