ana ogbueze
founder, ceo & co-owner
kellyeworth hall
coo & co-owner
Ana's career as a dance entrepreneur began in 2010 and in 2012 she founded NC Dance District: Charlotte's 1st industry style hip-hop dance studio for adults. In 2019, Ana decided to create AnaOnDemand to share her unique class style with her followers outside of Charlotte.
You might recognize Ana from an NBA dance team roster with the Charlotte Bobcats, now the Charlotte Hornets, or from CIZE infomercials where she's dancing alongside Fitness Celebrity Shaun T! A UNCC alum and former Goldduster, Ana began her professional dance career during her sophomore year of college back in 2004. Since then, she has trained at top dance studios in London, New York & L.A. She has also worked for the Oxygen Network, filmed 2 Coca-Cola commercials, and even been featured as a fitness talent for Beachbody.
For every major accomplishment, Ana can pinpoint when she knew God stepped in to make things happen. You see, Ana's story to success is very unique and still developing. Each and every one of her accolades comes with a testimony filled with trials, tribulations and triumphs. Ana contributes all of her success to an audacious faith in Jesus Christ and His promise over her life. Ana stands tall as a Believer and works daily on her walk with Christ.
As the founder of NC Dance District, she has proven to be a fearless pioneer in the Charlotte dance community. A non-traditional dancer to say the least, Ana began her dance training right in her living room before attending actual dance classes at the age of 15. Ana passionately and diligently worked towards her dreams and is now a sought after talent with works featured in music videos, short films and live shows throughout Charlotte and the Southeast area.
As a rule of thumb, Ana lives by the simple concepts of authenticity and intentions. In her eyes, good people DO finish first and what is meant for you, is meant for YOU!
In an effort to spread the love and benefits of dance with individuals from all walks of life, Ana Ogbueze launched the performance based non profit called, “Project: FULL OUT”. One of Ana's greatest joys is uncovering ways to serve others through her gifts. This program, also known as PFO, thrives on the campaign “Push For Opportunities” - Push for opportunities to dance, connect and discovery! The Project: FULL OUT program began as a passion project and over the past 7 years has evolved in a movement for dream makers and touring show!
The ability to connect with others through movement is one of Ana’s greatest gifts, and any opportunity to share that gift with others is what drives her. Once the seed was planted in her to start her own dance business and non - profit she decided to do it all on faith and never look back!
Kellye Hall does it all! A “Jill of all trades,” early in life she was able to thrive in a variety of areas including academics, athletics, and the arts. She was always a natural dancer and even took tap and ballet classes as a child, but hip-hop was her passion. Growing up in rural Soul City, there were no hip-hop classes, so she and a group of friends came up with their own choreography, imitating popular artists of the time such as TLC.
​
Being a lover of music, she joined the band and took up the saxophone as early as 6th grade. This led to her growing into a leader and eventually becoming drum major of her high school band. Being Aggie-born, she was destined to be a member of the Blue and Gold Marching Machine at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, like her father and uncle. She was determined to lead the band as drum major and she achieved her goal, unknowingly becoming the first female drum major in the band’s history. Due to the band’s popularity, they became the official band of the Carolina Panthers, allowing Kellye to perform for crowds of over 70,000 people. She also joined the Theta Zeta Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority, Incorporated and choreographed musical transitions for the step team in a number of step shows.
​
However, she knew from the age of two that her calling in life was to be a doctor. While she enjoyed dancing and performing in college, it was always only something to keep her busy while she was ultimately preparing to give her life to medicine. Her performing was halted, only to be revived yearly at A&T’s homecoming, when alumni band members join the ranks with the University band to relive undergraduate days.
​
In 2018, she took her first hip-hop dance class at NC Dance District and instantly her passion for dance was renewed. After performing in Project: FULL OUT, she was finally able to live the life of a dancer, even if it was only locally. Once Ana, the studio’s founder, decided she wanted to pursue other projects, Kellye felt her purpose in life was shifting to serve people in a different way, through the art of dance. Though she spent most of her adult life as an Emergency Physician, she knew God was calling her to lead the studio. With Ana’s mentoring and guidance, Kellye has taken a leap of faith that she can not only physically help people through medicine, but now she can spiritually and emotionally help people by encouraging them to grow as dancers and in life in general. Giving all glory to God, she knows how to bring out the best in people and she strives to continue the work Ana has started so that people can live out whatever dreams they desire.
