History of the GVCC School of Ballet
The GVCC School of Ballet was founded in 1985 by Artistic
Director, Lisa Abshere. The school has grown considerably
over the last 24 years but its fundamental goal has remained
the same: to offer a solid foundation in classical ballet
and is dedicated to teaching, at all levels, an appreciation,
interest, and genuine fondness for music and dance. We
believe ballet not only teaches discipline, coordination
and comittment, but also delivers creative expression and
accomplishment.
Lisa Abshere danced professionally for
seven years with San Francisco Dance Spectrum (a company
started by San Fransico Ballet Master Carlos Carvajal),
Theatre of San Fransico, Oakland Metropolitan Ballet Company,
and was a guest artist with several other professional
companies. At age eleven, Lisa began teaching children's
classes as part of a scholarship program to support her
own dance studies. The following year she received the
Ford Foundation Scholarship and was given a full scholarship
for summer study at the School of American Ballet (George
Balanchine). As Ballet Director she brings to her position
a wealth of experience in both the technical and theatrical
aspects of Classical Ballet.
Gina DeAngelo joined the teaching staff
at the GVCC School of Ballet in 1994. Gina trained under
full scholarship with the Joffrey School of Ballet in New
York. She later studied with Maggie Black, also in NYC.
She danced professionally with Valerie Huston Dance Theatre
and the Santa Barbara Ballet Theatre. While working in
her sister's company, Ballet DeAngelo, located in New York
City, she toured with them extensively throughout Europe
and Cuba.
Emily Maye Abshere began her teaching
at age 10 at the Rainbow School Afterschool Program while
dancing with the GVCC School of Ballet. Emily Abshere began
her training at the GVCC School of Ballet in the school's
first year at 3 years old. She also trained with Maria
Vegh and at DanceAspen Summer School, Milwaukee Ballet
School, the Joffrey Ballet School, STEPS in New York City,
and Barnard College. After graduating from college she
became a full-time member of the teaching staff at the
GVCC School of Ballet.
