ARIANNE GALLAGHER - Dancer

ARIANNE GALLAGHER: Born and raised in San Diego, CA, Arianne caught the dance bug at age four, dancing to old records and making up interpretive dances around the family room entertaining anyone and everyone who was willing to watch. Performing was and has always been a thrill, rush...a natural drive. After taking her first formal ballet lesson at age six, her passion for all things dance was firmly planted and has remained a major theme throughout her life. Arianne danced and performed in several classical ballet pieces including, La File Mal Gardee, The Nutcracker and Giselle, as well as several contemporary modern pieces including site specific work with Betzi Roe at the famous Hotel Del Coronado, and participating in the Third Rail Projects site specific series at the World Trade Winter Garden. She is also working with Lynn Barr Dance Theater as an ensemble dancer. With the culmination of her modern and contemporary dance experience and site specific work, dancing on Monadnock will be yet another wonderful and exciting opportunity for Arianne!
