Dancer Spotlight: Grace: 2019 “Rose Queen”

Without dance, I would not be the person that I am today. I have learned this through countless experiences that have been brought about because of dance. I believe the experience of performing as the Sugar Plum Fairy in last year’s Nutcracker has made the biggest impact on my life thus far. I trained harder than I ever have, and I learned that hard work does pay off. It was this role that showed me how much I truly love performing, and it is something that I would love to do as a career. I am eternally grateful for Tia Brown and the

creation of Monterey Peninsula Ballet Theatre. It is this organization that has enabled me to continue doing what I love and has lead me to be the proud, dedicated, and passionate young woman that I am today.
