Summer Keller began her dance training at Chamberlain School of Performing Arts before continuing her studies at Ballet Austin and Dance Institute of Performing Arts, where she competed and performed in a variety of dance styles. She later continued her classical ballet training at Mejia Ballet International in Arlington, TX, and The Colburn School Dance Academy in Los Angeles. Summer attended prestigious summer intensives with The School of American Ballet in New York City and Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle before returning to New York to train year-round at The School of American Ballet for two years and subsequently joining the Professional Division at Pacific Northwest Ballet under the direction of Peter Boal.

Throughout her training, Summer performed in productions including Serenade, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and The Nutcracker, developing a strong foundation in classical ballet, Balanchine technique, artistry, and performance. While training at The School of American Ballet, she served as a Teacher's Assistant, assisting instructors and supporting younger students in the classroom. She later returned to SAB as a Residence Life Assistant for the Summer Course, mentoring and caring for students in a professional training environment.

Summer graduated from Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts while continuing her passion for performance as a member of the Notre Dame Pom Squad. During her time on the team, she assisted with choreography, mentored younger teammates, and served as social coordinator, further developing her leadership, communication, and organizational skills.

In addition to her extensive dance background, Summer has developed a strong foundation in administration, business, and professional operations through her work with The School of American Ballet and The Village in Dallas. At SAB, she supported students and staff in a professional training environment as both a Teacher's Assistant and Residence Life Assistant, while her experience at The Village has strengthened her skills in communication, organization, client relations, sales, and day-to-day business operations. She is excited to bring these skills together with her passion for dance as she transitions into her role with Avant Chamber Ballet and continues growing within the performing arts field.
