About
Gabrielle McNeillie, originally from Rochester, NY, received her early training at Brockport School of Dance and Performing Arts and the Rochester City Ballet. She holds a BFA in Dance Performance from the University of Akron and an MFA in Dance/Choreography from The University of Arizona.
As an Assistant Professor and Dance Program Coordinator at Central Washington University, she seeks to reach the inner artist in each of her students by creating a classroom built on mutual respect to foster creativity, confidence, and a passion for movement. Her choreography has been staged locally and nationally, most recently at the Detroit Dance City Festival in the fall of 2023, and she has presented at various conferences including NDEO, IADMS, and the Dance Science and Somatics Educators Conference.
