Louise Gregersen was born to two doctor parents in a coastal town in Northern Zealand and began dancing at age four. Age eight, she was accepted into the prestigious ballet school run by the National Ballet of Denmark (NBD) with headquarters in the Opera of Copenhagen.

She is an only child, with her mother fervently supporting (and getting involved in) her ballet career, while her father is more worried about her physical well-being.

She breezed through ballet school until age sixteen, where she passed her entrance exam into the corps of the NBD, starting at the rank of apprentice and later being accepted as a fully fledged member.

At age twenty, she was made a soloist, youngest in the past fifty years to do so, after which she would come to dance more prominent roles. And finally, at age twenty-three, she was given the lead role of the sylph in a new production of Bournonville's La Sylphide.

Since her school days, she has been in a relationship with fellow NBD dancer, Rupert, who is also a soloist now and has been cast as Gurn in La Sylphide. Steady, down-to-earth and caring, he seems the perfect boyfriend.

However, the new American corps dancer, Amelia, captures her attention and her imagination, when the ballet master casts her, very unexpectedly, as the witch, Madge - a role usually danced by an older character dancer - in Louise's cast.

The two begin an intense rehearsal process together which might lead to more.
