Kirsten’s Studio of Dance was started in September of 2002.  Since then the studio has grown in leaps and bounds.  I offer classes in ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop to children ages 3 years and older. 

Classes run September through May. Dancers have a mini performance mid-season in December.  Our big performance is our Spring Recital in May when all dancers take part doing dances in all styles.

My name is Kirsten Gilbert. I grew up in Grand Forks, ND and started dancing at the age of 3 years old and have been dancing ever since.  I started as a student assistant when I was in the fifth grade and from there went on teach my own classes at Nancy Pasley Ballet school and the North Dakota Ballet company through my college years and after. While moving through my dancing career I also performed in local performances with the Oakland Ballet company several times and have taken Master Classes from several other companies and instructors.

  I moved to Lisbon in 2000 and opened my studio here in 2001. Having my own dance studio was always a dream and I love teaching in Lisbon.

I am married to my husband, Paul, and we have two boys, Ethan and Owen.
