Anna Cecilia Meyer is not afraid to travel halfway around the world to chase her dreams.

And for now, that means her home is at Princess Grace Academy, a professional ballet school in Monaco, where she is studying full-time to achieve her dream of becoming a professional ballerina.

The road to Monaco began when she was a toddler. Anna’s parents placed their active 3-year-old in dance classes at Corona Dance Academy, where she studied several different styles of dance for nearly 10 years.
