Grace Chastain received her BA in English/Professional Writing from Western Carolina University while continuing her dance education through technique and choreography classes at the university. Beginning in 2012, her dance training truly began at Triple Threat Performing Arts Academy (Sylva, NC), under Valerie Tissue, where Grace has since worked as an instructor and guest choreographer. She works closely with Triple Threat’s competition teams, with her routines often receiving choreography awards, judge’s choice awards, and top overall scores. Grace grew up thriving in the competitive dance world, and is grateful for the opportunity to now create positive competition experiences for young dancers through PNDC!
