About

Meet Gabby

Nearly ten years of training, one goal: getting you moving with confidence.

  • BFA in Dance, Montclair State
  • Ballet Hispanico Trained
  • Ballroom Competitor
  • Nearly 10 Years Instructing
  • Professional Performer

I grew up dancing in New Jersey, and I still can't imagine doing anything else. I earned my BFA in Dance from Montclair State University, then kept training everywhere I could: intensives with Ballet Hispanico and Marymount Manhattan, workshops abroad in Barcelona, ballroom competitions in Chicago, Vegas and DC. I've performed in professional concert and commercial works.

Here's why that matters to you: I've been the total beginner in the room, and I've been the one competing on stage. I know what it takes to get from one to the other, and I know how to meet you exactly where you are.

Whatever brought you here, your first dance as newlyweds, a quinceañera you want to nail, a college audition, or simply wanting to move without feeling silly, I've built the training to guide you there. Latin and Afro rhythms, ballroom, contemporary, hip hop: I speak all of them, so your lesson gets built around you, not the other way around.

"Dance is for everyone: every age, shape, size, race and gender. It unites us, builds confidence and connects us on the dance floor. When movement meets music, you find a way to express, release and feed your body, mind and soul." Gabby Meza
