Tracey Gabelman-Hart
owner & director
“I love working with the younger students . . . you have to be so creative and
fun. But, you can be more demanding and encouraging to the older, more
serious dancers.”
I began dancing at age four and studied with a community mentor, Karen
McWilliams, along with many other instructors here in Lincoln. I studied with
Ballet West in 1978 and then continued my education at UNL, majoring in
business administration with a minor in dance. I have choreographed for
many community productions including Pinewood Bowl, Wesleyan Swing
Choir and the Shim-Sham Senior Tap Troupe. Gary and I were married in
1980 and we opened the studio in 1986. We have two children, Alyssa and
Michael.
I am very proud of the amazing instructors at HDA as they are incredible role
models and friends. We are so fortunate to work with so many talented
dancers and nice families.
