Classical ballet dancer Gabe Stone Shayer grew up in Center City, dreaming of traveling the world. “I used to love walking on the Parkway and reading all the different flags,” he says, “I would go to the Free Library and I’d always check out a different language book for kids.”
Shayer attended pre-school at The Philadelphia School in Fitler Square, then elementary and middle school at Albert M. Greenfield a few blocks down on Chestnut Street. While at Greenfield, he attended three dance schools in the evenings: the Koresh School of Dance, Gwendolyn Bye, and The Philadelphia Dance Company. At 12, Shayer transferred to the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School in order to attend The Rock School for Dance Education full-time.
