Perry is originally from Mesa, AZ where she started her journey in ballet at age 4 with her twin sister. She received her early training and performance experience with pre-professional company Ballet Etudes where she had the opportunity to participate in multiple performances ranging from The Nutcracker to original contemporary works.
At age sixteen, she relocated with her family to Washington where she and her sister enrolled with Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB) under scholarship. Perry has attended summer intensive programs with PNB, School of American Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theater and City Ballet of San Diego. Her professional training has also included work and performance opportunities with PNB's Professional Division Program, Cincinnati Ballet, and Nevada Ballet Theatre. Over the years, her favorite roles have included Twyla Tharp’s Sweet Fields; Tall Fairy in George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Dew Drop Fairy in the Nutcracker; Winter Fairy in Cinderella.
After facing a series of injuries, Perry moved her focus from performing to teaching ballet.
Perry became a certified STOTT Pilates Instructor and enjoys using her knowledge and experience in both dance, exercise and health to focus on educating and training dancers in both strong technique and injury prevention.
