Gabriella began dancing when she was only three years old. Her love for dance continued to grow and at the age of 7 she began to dance competitively. At 13, she started her competition training at Northland School of dance where she continued to dance and compete until graduation. Gabriella has trained in the areas of jazz, tap, contemporary, lyrical and hip hop, but her true love is in ballet and pointe. "If I could choose any style of dance to choreograph and perform it would be lyrical because of the emotion behind every movement and song." She is very excited to get to know her students and to share her love of ballet as well as other forms of dance. Outside of dance, Gabriella likes to surround herself with lots of friends and family, spending time outside in the pool during the summer or snowmobiling in the winter. She is a movie fanatic and LOVES Chinese food! We are so excited to welcome Gabriella to the Showcase family and our teaching team.
