Ballerina KIMBERLY GRAVES-HAMM Now Coaches Ice Skating Competitors



Marco Berg & Kimberly Graves-Hamm
Decades ago, while performing in a touring company from San Francisco called "Ballet Celeste"...

 I met a young girl named Kimberly Graves. She was the lead in all the dances, had exquisite taste in clothes, & held an uncommon authority in her craft. No wonder then, that she soon went off to become a Soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet

While in Winnipeg, she spent four seasons. Graves then moved to NYC where we once again became acquainted. She joined the METROPOLITAN OPERA BALLET where she was a Principal Dancer for 17 years. I looked her up recently now that we are both living in different parts of California, only to learn her vision & talent have extended to new horizons in ICE! To follow is an interview she graciously gave to me amidst her many professional obligations.

MOLLOY: What triggered your decision to transfer your artistic skills & vision to ice-skating?

GRAVES-HAMM: After years of admiring Figure Skaters & watching the Olympics, I saw a need              for the artistic finish that a dancer has. The musicality & artistry was missing.


MOLLOY: Your protege' participated this year in Nashville with the National Showcase Parade                    Champions?


GRAVES-HAMM: I went with Competitor Marco Berg.

MOLLOY:  I wish you only the very best in your artistic endeavors. How would like to be contacted?
