Mac began dancing at the age of three in Edmond, OK when her mom enrolled her in dance classes. With the mentality "you finish what you start," she stuck it out for a full year of dancing upon not enjoying a single moment of dance classes. It wasn't until recital came along that she realised her love for the art form through standing on stage dancing under the bright lights that followed with an excited Mac that exclaimed, "that was awesome."

Mackenzie trained in ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop, contemporary, ballroom, and tap. In Oklahoma, she trained under Kristin Mcquaid and under Skye Massay where she began her dance career.
