About
With over a decade of experience as a professional dancer and instructor, I am well-versed in classical ballet, jazz, salsa, belly dance, and American rhythm. My talent as a salsa and ballroom dance choreographer and performer has been showcased in numerous salsa dance competitions, Latin dance festivals, fitness infomercials, dance workout DVDs, and television shows, including a coveted spot as a TOP four female finalist on FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance" in 2010. Passionate about dance, I derive immense satisfaction from empowering and equipping my students with the necessary tools to master their chosen dance form and achieve their goals. My dance classes cater to individuals of all ages and levels, and are designed to meet their specific needs. Witnessing my students grow and evolve through the art of dance is what makes my job truly fulfilling.

Cristina exceeds my expectations with her delightful personality, making me feel at ease. Additionally, she tailors the lessons to my learning method, resulting in rapid progress. In just two sessions, I've acquired a substantial amount of knowledge!

Learning from Christina was an absolute delight. Despite being strangers, it didn't take us long to establish a rapport, which made my salsa lessons with her all the more enjoyable. The wealth of knowledge she possesses is impressive, but what's truly extraordinary is how she customizes her lessons to suit each student's ability and progress. Not only did I have fun, but I also saw a significant improvement in my skills. I would wholeheartedly endorse her without hesitation.

Cristina is absolutely amazing! Initially, I was unsure what to anticipate, however, she has undoubtedly outdone herself. During just one lesson, I felt at ease and gained a significant amount of knowledge. I intend to continue learning from Cristina until I am capable of dancing Salsa throughout the entire night!

In readiness for our wedding dance debut, Cristina assisted us with much aplomb. Without a doubt, we relished her company! She engineered a routine that fused two songs together, and adeptly catered to our unique learning styles and current skill set. Cristina's charm, fervor, and spirited nature were truly infectious. In every way, we unreservedly endorse her services!

Unbelievable! As I watched my friends gracefully move to the rhythm of the salsa over the years, I came to accept that I was merely a wallflower with no hope of ever mastering such a stylish dance. However, after relentless urging from my peers, I decided to give in and register for a class with the phenomenal Cristina!! To my surprise, within a mere thirty minutes, I was able to perform an entire salsa routine. Cristina's brilliant instruction and clear explanations captivated me, and I am now determined to continue learning so that I can confidently join my friends on the dance floor. Cristina, thank you for an unforgettable first class!
