Stephanie grew up in Kalispell, MT and began dancing with Northwest Ballet Company when she was 3 years old. She was immediately drawn to ballet from a young age and continued on that path through her high school graduation. At 13 years old, she achieved every little ballerina’s dream and earned her pointe shoes and during her dancing years, she performed in 8 Nutcracker performances and 5 spring performances such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Midsummer Night’s Dream. She took on roles such as Drew Drop, Spanish, and Rat Queen in the Nutcracker and Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.
While she was a student at Montana State University, Stephanie joined the staff at TDC teaching ballet in 2019. She was thrilled to be back in the dancing world and teaching ballet and has continued to teach at TDC adding Creative Movement and Kinderdance classes to her teaching schedule.
