Grace Picone

I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts and I have been dancing since I was three years old. My first recital I was the only kid on stage that did not cry. My favorite style is tap! When I was younger I used to learn the group dances on ‘Dance Moms’ and forced my friends to learn them - I have apologized to everyone involved since then. From then on my mom put me in my very first summer theater camp where I played a dog in Aristocats!

​

At Hofstra University I majored in Spanish and minored in Musical Theater - which is my version of Hannah Montana’s “the best of both worlds”. Not only did I get to immerse myself in a language’s literature, culture and history I also got to take my passion of performing and instilled training in me. In the Drama Department my recent works include: Cymbeline (Cymbeline) and State Fair (Lem/Fairtone/Dance Captain). I also was involved in the Communication School. I was a live cast member in ‘Thursday Nite Live’ - ‘Saturday Night Live’ but on Thursdays - and starred in Student Films and Senior Capstones. Some of my favorite projects have been ‘Newswars’ - a mockumentary television show and ‘Singing Safari’ - where I hosted a singing competition.
