Nicole Gilbert

I started dancing at the age of 4 and have grown to love the technique and creativity that dance provides. As a young dancer I focused my training in ballet, completing RAD levels, and performing in productions such as The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella with the Jeunesse Classique performing company. Injuries during high school forced me to take a break from dance but my love of the art brought me back to dance in 2008 with the performing company Artists Elite International. As an adult dancer, I have performed in numerous productions within Calgary and explored genres outside of ballet including contemporary, jazz, tap, and hip hop. However, I have always come back to my first love, ballet! I am excited to grow as a dancer this season with Ballet Bodies YYC! Outside of dance, I am in grad school studying epidemiology, work as a pediatric dietitian, love spending time outdoors with friends and family, and have an adorable cat named Sammy!
