About Miss Gina Ballerina  

Having a love for all forms of the performing arts lead me to pursue tap, jazz, hip hop, ballet, voice and acting. Musical theater and opera are actually my favorites. I received my degree in theater from the University of Minnesota in Duluth. I have had the privilege of working with some great companies since graduating including the Guthrie Theater, Chanhassen Dinner Theater and the Lyric Opera of NY.

In 2001 my husband and I decided to make the big move to NYC. We had the opportunity to study with great voice and dance teachers and to perform. It was a great experience! When we decided that we wanted to start a family however, we thought it would be better to move back to Minnesota to be closer to our families.

Since being home I started my own program for children that wish to dance or perform musical theater. Most of my programs are through community education or parks and recreation programs. They are meant for kids that don't want the competition of dance studios or parents that want something more affordable and less high maintenance.

Now I am passing on my love for dance to a wider audience. This free site is a way to do that. It is also a great project for me to learn more about ballet!

If you are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and are interested in my classes in dance and theater please visit my other site www.mayerarts.com/classes.html.
