While at Charlotte Ballet, she had the privilege to perform in Jean- Pierre Bonnefoux’s The Nutcracker, lb Anderson’s Swan Lake, and Naimah Kisoki’s Endeavor to the Edge. Also while in Charlotte, Abbey discovered her love for mentoring through teaching at a local studio, Dance Davidson, in Davidson, NC.
