Gwen grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and began dancing at All About Dance (AAD) at age 5. Very soon after, she started training in all styles of dance and competing locally and nationally. She also developed a passion for dance choreography, which she showcases at AAD’s annual Student Choreography Experience. In high school, she performed in multiple musicals and trained in acting and singing, in addition to her dance studies. She is looking forward to pursuing continued education in acting.
