Sisters Glorify God with Their Gift of Dance
My sister and I are both passionate about classical ballet. I am a pre-professional ballerina, and my little sister is an aspiring pre-professional ballerina.
Last fall, we auditioned for the children’s cast of their production of The Nutcracker, and we were both cast. I was a party child, and Mary Catherine was a toy soldier and a jockey.
This season, we are both cast again as party children, and Mary Catherine is a jockey again.
What organization recognized the achievement?
We both dance for The Louisville Ballet Company.
How did homeschooling help you achieve your goal?
Homeschooling helps us be able to work our school into our very busy and rigorous dance schedules, all while keeping our academics challenging.
We both feel we are challenged in the studio and in our studies. We center everything around God, who has given us this beautiful gift to dance, and we try to use it to glorify him and to continue to grow our minds as well.
What are your interests?
We both love dance. While my main focus is classical ballet, Mary Catherine has a strong interest in modern and jazz as well.
What are you inspired to do with your life?
I would love to one day be a professional ballerina, inspiring young dancers and artists to move and grow, as I have been inspired my entire life.
What are your favorite subjects and why?
I am a math girl all the way. I love how numbers just make sense in my brain.
