Mrs. Gabby V
Gabby found her love of dancing and performing at the age of 2. After seeing all of the talented dancers in their rhinestoned costumes at her first recital, she was instantly hooked. She trained in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, and musical theater, competing and winning multiple regional and national awards, titles, and scholarships. In college, she was a member of the Georgia Southern University dance team.
Of all the styles of dance Gabby has learned over the years, tap was always her favorite. She hopes to instill a deep love and appreciation of tap in this upcoming generation of dancers. Gabby is currently pursing her certification in Tap!
