It might not seem like an adventure right now but when you look back, you’ll see.
You can't tell me that all of the love songs have...
Yesterday was the “fearless heart” photo shoot. First of I would like to thank the amazing photog Bryan Hainer who is brilliant, a perfectionist and seemed to know exactly what I ment when I said ” it like…I’ve been listening to alot of Alanis “jagged Little Pill” lately”. Not only is he a super cutie but he never lets me get away with just staring...
I wish you well, and hope you find whatever your...
I am really looking forward to the day where I can find a balance between being a work-a-holic, dance-a-hoilc, pilates-a-hoilc and social-a-hoilc. Only recently did I add the last two to my plate and I think some cut back are needed. I am beat. So tired. Albert and I were pathetic (sorry albie) in Pilates privates this morning. I just kept saying ” that seems like alot of work”. Now...
RIP
Not sure what to say, Just found out. All I know is that videos like this made me. Shock. Sadness. RIP
Just can't wait to be king.
Last night I went down to the pool to make some smores and hang in the hot tub. When I got down there I was slightly annoyed to see about 6 kids in the pool at 12:30 pm. My month long migraine has made quiet time very important after the loudness of our show. I thought to myself, what are these little kids doing up at 12:30 pm? Then I realized that they were most likely in a show out...

I Wrote This For You: The Fractals Repeat
Karma's gonna visit you too.
Last year I took over 100 flights. Most of them were from New York to Las Vegas. I spent alot of time in the Las Vegas Baggage claim. Looks like I will be spending even more. (ie. Giant Keltie and Tara will hang at the airport all day long) When you get cheated on it really messes with your self confidence. Seriously. You think. Was I not pretty enough? Hot enough? What was wrong with me? I have...
It's my turn- I won't be held down, no.
I Hope your hell is filled with magazines and on every page you see a big picture of me. Today on my twitter (are you following me? www.twitter.com/keltiecolleen) I listed a lyric from my favorite Kina song that says “Not bad for a girl from the gutter like me”. Then the canadians got really mad. Correction: I am not from the gutter. I do not think Canada is the gutter. I used to...
Grade 11 keltie.
If in grade 11, when I had my hair dyed like Ginger Spice and had spice girls EVERYTHING, I had known that one day I would be working with, hanging with and friends with Melanie Brown (aka scary) I would have died. Mel’s last show is tonight and what a ride this has been. Mel is the craziest person I have ever met, but she also has the biggest heart. She has been nothing but amazing to me...
Good Morning Broadway Bares
This is an older video, but I thought it summed up all about the show. Also has cameos of MY GAY and the amazing Denis Jones, who let me audition 6 times for Legally Blonde on broadway and still never hired me! Just Kidding! Love you Denis! XOXOXOXO Today, in NYC the most wonderful night of the year happens. Broadway Bares. This charity event lends itself to my charity of choice “Broadway...
you know what it’s all about? being able to loose the things that you don’t need anyways
Wait a couple months, then you gonna see. You...
Idea. Just an idea. Thanks Sugar and Bruno for the badass dance socks! I have been so busy I have had zero time to take class + get into the studio. It shows in my crap feet. Ugh. Dancing is so hard. I hate being anything but perfect. Drives me insane. So, I am working on ideas for the S+B camp I am teaching and also hanging with Albie as he gets ready to teach the opening number at Dance Masters...
little truths
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by...
falling slowly .
When I was about 12 I was at dance competition in British Columbia. A young girl named Stacey Tookey danced before me and brought the house to tears. I hated having to follow her because, I knew who she was, I knew she was amazing and I knew she would win. She did. I am pretty sure the announcer pronounced my name wrong. A year later I found myself moving dance studios to the home of the amazing...
Cry Me a River.
It all comes together. Friends at Peepshow. It looks like this. Friends hang with cast after the show and K. Monaco says to Bry + Alex, you are hot, and then to Sonny, you not so much. We have beverages. It looks like this. Alex sings to Kelly in order for her to agree to be his lover in the next video. We talk about ideas. All of them involve nakedness and hotness. Kelly says, sex sells....
AT the Palms pool...
Today. Sarah, Erica, Kesha, Deb, Ally Love, Adar… The resumes between these girls is somewhat insane. If we had gotten up to dance we might have brought down the house. I did do a very interesting jumping bean dance to Kings of Leon, until I got told I had to sit down. Being with my besties is clearly, the best. So strange to think that just a few years ago we were all living in NYC,...
dance magazine contest!!!
GO! Right now! Keltiecolleendance.com Last night Paula Abdul was in the crowd at Peep. I tried to meet her afterwards and let her know that I had “Straight Up” on vinyl but she left. Bummer. Her SHUT UP AND DANCE album was the dance album of my childhood, she was my britney. I can remember dancing around my house in different spandex/neon dancerwear to cold heart snake. Hot. Also...
4-40 seems like a good time to go to bed.
Last Night I attended the premiere + the opening of the Cinevegas Indie Movie Festival + walked the red carpet. Got this dress at a vintage store and combined with the ever fierce KC bevel I think I did alright.Those damn boys from Jersey Boys always steal the show. I am glad we walked first! They are so good looking!!! Sarah Silverman, who I have worked with prior rocked a hoodie and a backpac...
darlin' it ain't easy...
Last night this was said to me, I swear. “Thank god you are back on the dancefloor, life has returned! “ (insert keltie giggle) “You have the most amazing energy. If I looked up “Life” in the dictionary there would be a picture of you” - my little salsa friend Rubin. I have fallen in love with my little salsa club. It takes me back to a time where women...
go put your records on...
Every year when I watch the TONY awards my dream to be on Broadway becomes bigger and bigger. Seeing my Knicks City Twin Amy (aka. Handlebar mustachio) on stage in this performance with West Wide Story made a fire burn on my soul, proud for her, and wishing my next thing might be hair in pincurls and a wig cap in some fab b’way production. I will be back in NYC in 2010 and you know I will...
Best. Day. Ever
Today was one of my favorite days ever. I am feeling grounded, humbled by the greatness of the universe and pretty darn heart happy. I went for the greatest hike through Red Rocks today, and then decided I could scale a mountain side barefoot with hobo in my backpac. The Boulders got so big about 2 hours in that I had to put her in my pac and carry her the rest of the trip. She really loved...

Me, Myself and I.
I’ve been thinking about how much i love to take care of other people. I will lose sleep if people I care about are unhappy. I have a very bad habit of putting everyone elses needs above my own. In the past few months I Have been working on letting that flaw go. I think there is a big difference between being selfish and self-centered. I am not sure I have ever met an artist that is not...
The show must go on.
I don’t miss shows. Even when I look like this hot mess. If they let me dance, I will. The saddest thing about this picture is that the bowling trophy behind me is Tara’s and not mine. Really the eaten up arms, not so bad. ” Keltie, I thought bad things happened in threes, but to you they seem to happen in twelves”. - Mel B. On the flip side, good things happen to me in...
wakey, wakey, eggs and pasties.
I am covered in hives. Seriously. People say it is stress, but I think it might be not enough mint areo bars in my system? D? I consider myself a pretty rad conversationalist. I love to read, books, newspapers and faces. I have been looking for someone to out chat me. I think I have found this person. One day we will all be old. One day we will all be has-beens. One day my face will be all...
Dear...
Emily Shock, You are so brilliant. Love Keltie Clinton Martin, Please get older and then come dance/marry me. Love Keltie Glen hansard, Thanks for making my second favorite soundtrack of all time and taking me back to the lower east side indie movie theatre where I would go and watch movies alone all summer long. There were lessons in those streets I should have listened to then. I am listening...
Covered in scars I did nothing to earn.
My homework that night at therapy was to make a list of all the expectations that I have for the way other people treat me. Some of the things I listed were, do what you say you are going to do, be honest, be happy for me when good things happen and of course, to be nice to me. My therapist told me that my expectations were pretty pathetic, and that those are things that ALL humans should be,...
Expect the best-
Last night I got to meet my fellow Sugar & Bruno designer, and DWTS and SYTYCD Alum Lacey Schwimmer, she is so pretty and sweet ! Very cool to be in the family with her + her boyfriend is a total BABE. Get it Lacey! ***Also at Peepshow was the amazing RAY LEEPER! Such amazing energy. Realized last night that Albie is a rockstar in the dance world. Dated Mia? Knows every single person...
