Carrie hails from the small Australian country town of Shepparton, near Melbourne, Victoria. When she wasn't riding horses, waterskiing, or camping, Carrie was at piano lessons or recitals. She began dance classes at the age six and it quickly became her passion. Her love of dance continued into high school, where she studied ballet, tap, and jazz, and choreographed many shows and festivals. Carrie always knew that she was going to pursue a career in the arts.
