Gianna Martello (born on June 10, 1989), began dancing at the Abby Lee Dance Company when she was four years old. Both her mom and aunt danced, so Kim wanted Gianna to dance as well. She graduated from the ALDC her senior year of high school and went on to attend Point Park University where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations. After her college graduation, Gianna came back to the ALDC to work for Abby Lee Miller as one of her main choreographers and teachers. She can now be seen on Lifetime's reality television series, Dance Moms, along with several other ALDC students and teachers.
