PROFESSIONAL
DANCER
After Gina graduated with a BFA from the University at Buffalo, Gina took a leap of faith and began her professional dance career. Her onstage and performing arts experiences can be seen worldwide.
Check out her professional dance journey!
MODELING
Gina is 5 foot 5 and a half, and having dealt with scoliosis and body image, she never imagined herself to experience modeling. When a choreographer needed a last minute model for a runway show and he knew Gina’s ability to pick up choreography quickly, Gina was chosen to grace the runway. She was named model of the month at her agency, became booked in her beauty and walked again and again. Enjoy her modeling experiences!
RADIO CITY ROCKETE
In 2007, Gina moved to NYC to continue living her professional dance dreams. When she saw The Radio City Rockettes 75th Anniversary, she knew in her heart it was time to audition and see what was possible. After ONE audition, Gina booked the job and opened the show on tour in Buffalo NY, near her home town, Batavia NY. On opening night, 60 family members were cheering her on with excitement! Check out her journey with The Rockettes here.
BRAIN AND SPINAL INJURY
Gina experienced a brain injury during her time with The Radio City Rockettes. This was Gods way of turning her unconscious lifestyle into a conscious one. Gina searched for answers and solutions as she experienced the turbulence in her mind, body, and spirit, especially her emotions. Her fight to get back in the show revealed her “fear based” living choices. This “awakening” led Gina to begin peeling the layers of guilt, shame, anger, and fear. For years, she had been in denial of her bodies messages, her bodies asks of her, and her bodies wisdom. It wasn’t until she completely surrendered and had to make her brain health most important. The journey of her healing and her “aha” God moments are coming soon. In the meantime, check out her blog and this video of her sharing her story.

SALSA IN THE
PARK
Gina found an Angel in 2014, when she was healing herself through abusive relationships she had experienced. Salsa Socials became her Friday and Saturday night push to learn how to build trust, let go, and follow. Her friend invited her into the scene and taught Gina how to salsa a bit and In 2015, her and her partner Angel were paid to social salsa in the new Park MGM in Las Vegas. It was one of the best dance and friendship experiences she has had in this lifetime. Gina learned the power of dance as a healing art form and also the power of partner dance for those who have been in abusive relations. She encourages women to use dance as a way to connect to their inner power and inner wings. She knows that angels are everywhere, so she also encourages people to ask for their angels as they need them.
