CHRISTINE GILBERT
Christine Ann Gilbert was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. Her love of dance led her to Philadelphia and University of the Arts, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance with honors in 2015. During her undergrad she was privileged to partake in curriculum that extended training beyond classical dance forms, crafting her into a multifaceted technical artist. Christine has since worked as a freelance dancer and teacher in New York City, a group fitness trainer, and has found her way back to the Philadelphia region through musical theater. She is so excited to join The Hailey Jane Dance Center! In her structured classes, she nurtures an environment where students are welcomed to ask questions, to try and fail, then try again, to build discipline while having fun, and remembering that the driving force of dance is the love of the craft.
