Genevieve is a 12-year-old 7th grade honors student in Rowland Unified. She was introduced to ballet at age 2 with local recreation programs. When she was 4, she attended her first production of Inland Pacific Ballet’s The Nutcracker and, with aspirations to be cast as a bon bon, began her training with the Inland Pacific Ballet Academy that winter. With the Inland Pacific Ballet Academy, she has performed in seven seasons of The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Swan Lake, and The Little Mermaid. Genevieve competed at the Youth American Grand Prix in 2022 and placed in the Top 6 for large ensemble contemporary. She fell in love with Chicago when she attended the Joffrey Ballet Academy’s 2022 Summer Intensive. Genevieve is grateful for the opportunity to serve as an IPB Academy Junior Trainee. When she’s not dancing, Genevieve loves to read big books, bake, cook, travel, participate in Girl Scout community service projects, and play piano and violin.
