Abby Phillips grew up training at Wilkerson Dance Studio, where she studied ballet, pointe, contemporary, modern, jazz, hip-hop, and tap. During high school, she was a member of the Greenfield-Central High School Dance Team before continuing her education at Ball State University, where she performed with and served as captain of the Ball State Code Red Dance Team.

From 2019 to 2023, Abby was also a staff member with the National Dance Alliance, teaching high school and collegiate dance camps across the country. She now serves as a coach for the Greenfield-Central High School Dance Team, sharing her experience and passion with the next generation of dancers.

While Abby enjoys a wide range of dance styles, contemporary and hip-hop hold a special place in her heart. She loves exploring new forms of movement and challenging herself to step outside her comfort zone. After attending several Strive performances and witnessing the company’s joy and passion onstage, Abby is excited to join Strive Dance Company for her first season and return to performing.
