Terri graduated from Speedway High School and went on to become a Marian College cheerleader. She studied ballet at the Indianapolis Ballet Theater and was a competitive dancer at the regional and national level.

I started dancing at the age of 3 and haven’t stopped moving since. I performed and competed with a studio in Fort Wayne, IN for 13 years. I also competed on my middle school dance team and my high school’s JV and Varsity dance teams. Aside from dance I also competed with my high school’s color guard for 4 years to widen my performing arts background. When I wasn’t competing or on stage with my own teams, I took classes at numerous other studios in the area to further grow my dance skills. At Ball State University I performed with Rhythms Dance Troupe where I really got into choreographing and teaching. Over the years I’ve performed in groups of all sizes from solos to large production numbers. I have a background in lyrical, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, modern and ballet. I’m so excited to be able to continue doing what I love while sharing my passion and knowledge of dance with the students at SADA.

Hi, I’m Gabby and my passion for dance has been growing since I was 3 years old.  I began my training in a variety of styles at Dance Center Evanston in Illinois.  I was honored to have an apprenticeship with a contemporary ballet company for 2 years.  I also performed with the Evanston Dance Ensemble for 5 years.  I came to Indiana to dance at Ball State University where I ended up graduating with a BA in Finance.  I needed dance in my life, so my freshman year I joined a student organization called Rhythms Dance Troupe (where I also met fellow teacher Mrs. Lauren Meneely) and stayed on the team throughout my four years at BSU.  Teaching dance has always been such a fun and rewarding experience.  I look forward to dancing and teaching with Sister Act.

Terri has worked at Sister Act Dance Academy since December of 2013 as an administrative assistant. She enjoys meeting new people and helping others. The environment at the studio has allowed her to build relationships with families as well as watch other friendships grow.
