Our Mission
Graced Training Center (GTC) equips and empowers emerging and established dance professionals to pursue artistic excellence and longevity through consistent, purpose-driven training. Serving the greater Washington, D.C. area, we provide technical training and mentorship that nurture each dancer’s unique movement language. Rooted in faith, grace, and excellence, we encourage dance artists to move with conviction, lead with clarity, and live their art with purpose. We are training the next generation of dancers, choreographers, directors, and leaders, not to conform, but to become who they were designed to be.
Liv (Founder) was a very welcoming, kind, and inclusive teacher. Her teaching style was focused but allowed room for dancer choice and style to come through. I believe she utilized the talents of each well, and allowed dancers to work within their level of comfort. She was clear with her choreographic intentions, and made sure to acknowledge all dancers so everyone was included.

Liv helped break down the complexity of choreographing as someone who gravitates towards the improv and freestyle world. She asked first where my issues and gaps were to make sure she was answering any questions and ways I felt disqualified to choreograph. She provided practical tools to help me choreograph while not thinking I have to erase my style and art. She provided specific practices that felt very professional yet state-of-the-art and new. Lastly, she included my strengths into her teaching to showcase how I can still use improv and stylistic choices into choreography.
