Gabriella Halley
Gabriella began her dance training at Scarsdale Ballet with New York City Ballet dancer Diane White. In middle school, she moved to Chapel Hill, where she continued her training at the Ballet School and performed with Chapel Hill Dance Theatre (CHDT). One of her favorite CHDT performances was “Alice in Wonderland”. She also attended summer intensives with Rosanna Nesta at Cary Ballet Conservatory.
After getting married, Gabriella and her husband settled in Chapel Hill and began their family. They are proud parents of three children. Gabriella’s experience as both a dancer and a mother has deepened her passion for working with young children and sharing the joy of dance with the next generation.
Gabriella especially loves teaching children and creating a positive, encouraging environment where students can build confidence, creativity, coordination, and a lifelong love of movement. She is excited to continue inspiring young dancers through her work at the Ballet School of Chapel Hill.
