About Author: Grace Edwards

Description
Grace Edwards is a Melbourne-based freelance writer with a background in both dance and music. Apart from studying musicology and history at the University of Melbourne, she spends her time talking about dance, dreaming about dance, watching dance and, well, dancing. Originally hailing from New Zealand, she has a tendency to add ‘ey?’ to the end of her sentences when she speaks, which is often. In order to stop her friends tearing their hair out from her constant babbling, Grace has carefully cultivated a number of other interests over the years. These include eating chocolate, playing the piano, singing, drinking coffee, and sleeping. Especially sleeping.
