Meet Ella

Ella Gordon is an NYC-based dancer, singer, and actor originally from Wilmington, NC.

Favorite credits include R&H’s Cinderella, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Damn Yankees, and Guys and Dolls. 

 Beginning ballet at age 3, Ella quickly fell in love with the art of performing. Nutcracker season was always her most favorite time of year. After over 10 years in the ballet world, Ella discovered an untouched love for musical theatre and never looked back.

In all of her work, Ella leads with heart and strives to spark joy.

Ella is also the Creator and Founder of E-Broadway, an online-based Musical Theatre training company that introduces young artists to the Broadway industry. Ella began developing the company in May of 2020 and launched her first program the following June. She had nine students in her eight-week program and launched her four-week E-Broadway Boost program in August of 2020. The program would not be anywhere without her wonderful team of six, which includes Broadway performers, physical therapists, and other industry professionals.

When she’s not checking dancers in for class, training, or performing, you can find her on the yoga mat, in a SoulCycle class, hanging out at a local coffee shop, or working with her amazing students.

Ella is endlessly grateful to her parents for their support, her teachers for encouraging her to be uncomfortable, and the Wilmington theatre community for believing in her dreams and taking a chance on a fourteen-year-old ballerina.

What’s the best that could happen?
