Grace Caslick

Part-Time Faculty Member

Grace Caslick is a dancer, teacher and up & coming choreographer trained in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, acro, musical theatre and modern dance styles. She began her dance training at the age of 4 at a small studio in her home town of Stratford, ON and then transferred to Elite Dance Centre in Woodstock, ON at the age of 13.

Grace has successfully completed RAD ballet exams from Grades 1-7, BATD jazz and tap exams up to Inter Level 2 and Acrobatique exams up to Inter Level 1.

Additionally, Grace has also attended the Quinte Ballet School Of Canada‘s summer intensive program, and was privileged to be chosen for mentorship programs with David Norsworthy (Toes for Dance), and in the summer of 2023, with International Choreographer Reet Roy (Rhythm2Dance).

Throughout her competitive career, Grace has won numerous Special, Judges Choice, Overall awards and scholarships. She currently attends workshops and conventions regularly to further her training.

Outside of her dance studio training, Grace has participated in the televised World Festival of Children’s Theatre’s “opening ceremony”, Stratford Community Player’s productions of “Cinderella” and “The Addam’s Family”, and was thrilled to be a part of the youth chorus for Drayton Entertainment’s “Snow White-The Panto” at The Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend, ON. In 2018, at the age of 13, Grace was honoured to be chosen by Team Canada Dance to represent her country with Canada‘s inaugural Street Dance Show Team at the World Championships in the Czech Republic. She hopes to one day represent Canada again.

On top of her own studio training, Grace has gained valuable teaching and choreography experience from multiple different schools, studios and teachers. She is the Dance Captain, and a choreographer, for her competitive high school dance team in the styles of jazz, tap, contemporary, acro, and lyrical. She works with dancers that range from novice to competitive and she is a strong advocate for dance programs in schools because of all the life skills dance develops.

Grace is a proud recreational dance teacher at Elite Dance Centre that began teaching at the age of 16 in the styles of jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop and acro for various ages from 3 to 13.

She has a passion for choreography, teaching the next generation of young dancers and building a healthy community in her dance classroom…and she can’t wait to dance with you!
