Senior Signoff: Gabby Manriquez
Gabby has been dancing for fourteen illustrious years, and will continue her dance journey with Charlotte Ballet as a Trainee! Gabby says her favorite memory was returning to her favorite performance venue, Fletcher theater, after COVID. She tells us it was "something about the dressing rooms and backstage memories, but it was truly special to come back and dance there again after such a hard year. All the memories at fletcher auditorium are my favorite! It felt like my home as much as the studio". In her own words, "one thing I will miss the most are all of my lovely friends! I will come visit them a lot, but it won't be the same as seeing them everyday for hours on end. I never get sick of them".
Gabby, your Raleigh Dance Theatre family is so lucky to have seen you grow into the person and dancer you are today, and we cannot wait to see all you accomplish as a trainee with Charlotte Ballet! 💗
