When Anna Grace is not on the stage, she enjoys dancing as a Gatorette and singing in the choir at her school, St Catherine of Siena. She is in her 8th year of ballet with Giacobbe Academy of Dance. In addition, for the past 4 years she has performed in the Nutcracker for Delta Festival Ballet Company. She trains in musical theater, acting and dance from Encore Studio and studies voice from Candice Moses and Lauren Gisclair. Anna Grace wants to send a huge thank you to Mr. Gary and the entire creative team for this amazing opportunity!
