Gillian began her ballet training at the age of seven in Williamsburg, VA and attended summer intensives at Kirov Academy of Ballet and The Dallas Conservatory. After graduating from her home studio, S. I. Dance in Williamsburg, she started training professionally at the Richmond Ballet where she performed in many ballets including Balanchine’s Serenade and Stoner Winslett’s The Nutcracker. This is Gillian’s second year at Charlottesville Ballet as a Trainee and she is so excited to continue her training.
