Grace began her dance journey at the age of 10 when a movie about dancers performing in the nutcracker inspired her to start ballet. She spent one year dancing at a local community center and then began taking classes at The Dance Company Studio in her hometown of Green Bay, WI. She spent 9 years training at The Dance Company Studio where she was also a part of the performance company, dancing in the annual Nutcracker production, as well as various spring shows. Some of Grace’s favorite roles include Clara and the Sugarplum fairy in the Nutcracker, Ariel in the Little Mermaid, Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, and Liesl in the Sound of Music.

​

In 2024, Grace attended Ballet Magnificat’s Fall Dance Intensive where she rediscovered that dance could be used both as worship and a ministry. Through the intensive, the Lord placed it on her heart to dance professionally with a Christian ballet company. Grace began dancing with Magnum Opus last season as a trainee and is thrilled to be entering her second season with the company.
