Acquiring her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa, one of the top ten dance universities in America, Christine studied under Francoise Martinet (Joffrey Ballet), Jeffery Bullock (Pacific Northwest Ballet & Hubbard Street Dance Chicago), Alan Sener (Louis Falco Dance Company), Armando Duarte (Sao Paulo’s Cisne Negro) and Basil Thompson (Royal Ballet). Her vast study of dance across many forms has allowed Christine to perform, choreograph and teach in many capacities. Prior to her recent endeavors, Christine established Wisconsin’s leading professional jazz dance company and sister youth dance ensemble where her students performed with the American Academy of Ballet, Moscow Ballet’s touring production of The Nutcracker, Lake Michigan Summerfest and Disney World. She has choreographed for numerous dance companies across the Midwest, Performing Arts High Schools, NBA Dance Teams, Silvertree Productions and 60 x 60 Dance St Louis.
