Gabi Baltzley
Director
A licensed Jitterbug teacher, Miss Gabi has been nurturing young minds and building confidence in the Smyrna area since the summer of 2019! However, her experience in performing arts education goes many years back and three states away to Little Rock, Arkansas! At Central Arkansas Cerforming Arts Academy, Miss Gabi served as a vocal coach and teaching artist, while also being involved in multiple theatrical productions there. She then went on to start the theatre department at Jacksonville Lighthouse Charter School from scratch! Six musical productions and hundreds of students later, she moved to Georgia where she found a brand new community of passionate and creative students! Miss Gabi uses the performing and creative arts as a tool to help her students discover confidence, and even learn life skills such as effective communication and expressing emotions in a healthy way.
