We are hiding behind the main house :)
Parking:
There is ample street parking surrounding Masters Dance Academy and that is the easiest place to park. If it is after 5:00pm or a weekend, you may park against the brick wall of the building next door. Please don't park in the spaces closest to the main house.
Christy Gilbert
Christy Gilbert began dancing at the age of three and has loved every minute of her constantly evolving career. At the age of seven, with encouragement from her teacher, Kerry Smith, Christy transitioned her focus to ballet at Boston Ballet School's Intensive Division. She has been granted opportunities to dance and study with many great artists, which include Laura Young, Suki Schorer, Tatiana Gennadievna, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. After dancing and performing for a decade with Boston Ballet, Christy changed paths to attend college, however, quickly found herself using her ballet expertise to teach technique classes for Springfield college and local competitive studios. Since 1999, Christy has taught students of all ages and levels in California and Massachusetts. She feels deeply about sharing her years of knowledge and experience with her students. Christy believes highly in developing dancers with strong ballet technique.
