Gillian started her dance journey when she was 5 years old at a local after-school class in ballet. This only increased her passion for dance and at the age of 11 she began her competitive dance career. Participating in various dance teams and as a soloist at multiple competitions, her consistent efforts earned her numerous High Gold and Platinum awards in her age division’s categories, along with many high places in the overalls. Her training includes jazz, hip-hop, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, and gymnastics. Gillian’s passion for dance has led her to continue her journey at community college, where she’s also picked up tap and modern.

Recently, Gillian has been assisting at Dance Arts Academy, guiding younger students and sharing her dance moves. She’s passionate about inspiring the next generation to embrace dance as a powerful way to express themselves and discover their true selves, no matter what life throws their way.
