About Me
Hi Everyone; nice to meet you.
I am Amanda Grace and I began dancing at the age of 9. I am an 18-year-old Los Angeles Trained Dancer who also enjoys Modeling. I have competed at the National Level with some First Over All and First in Category Wins. I am a dancer through and through and participate in Garces Memorial High School Cheer as well as their Competitive Dance Team where I create choreography for the teams. I have a strong interest in S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and excel in these areas. My University Major will be in Bio-Chemistry with a Minor in Dance.
I am a member of the Garces High School Competitive Dance Team in Bakersfield, CA, and have studied most styles of dance including jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, acro, hip hop, and ballet. I have also competed as a soloist and team member of various competitive dance teams in Southern California that compete on a national level including performances at Disney and appearances on Dance Moms. Some results are listed below.

I am a diligent honor roll student with straight A's at Garces Memorial Catholic High School and work very hard to balance both dance and school commitments. My Highschool GPA is 4.12
I was born in Portland, Oregon, and my mother is from Sao Paulo, Brazil. My father grew up in both Oregon and California.
Hopefully being humble, showing kindness, and maintaining a strong work ethic will open doors to many wonderful opportunities or being accepted to a great University in a S.T.E.M related field after High School Graduation.
