Isabelle Evangelista is from Herndon, Virginia, where she currently resides while pursuing a degree in Elementary Education at James Madison University. She began her dance training at Center for Ballet Arts and Skye Ballet Center and has continued to grow her passion for dance through both performance and teaching. Since 2022, Isabelle has been teaching at Skye Ballet Center, sharing her love of dance with young students in a supportive and encouraging environment.

As a performer, Isabelle danced with Gin Dance Company from 2023 to 2025 and had the opportunity to perform at the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) Finals in Tampa. Her training and performance experiences have helped shape her approach to teaching, emphasizing both artistry and confidence.

This year, Isabelle will be teaching in the Little Dancer Program at the McLean location. In her classes, dancers can expect to express their individuality through movement, build confidence, and, of course, have fun. Her advice for the year ahead is simple but meaningful: Always keep a positive mindset!
