About Christine

Christine began her dance training at the age of 3 and continued throughout her teenage years in Southern New Jersey. Christine taught her first dance class at age 16 and fell in love with sharing the art of dance with her students. While earning her Bachelor's Degree in Entrepreneurship at Rowan University and continuing to build her dance teaching skills, Christine was also a dancer for the Philadelphia KiXX Dance Team and performed in Atlantic City regularly at the Tropicana Casino. Christine choreographed and performed in the Philadelphia Mummers Parade and was the founder of the Camden Riversharks Dance Team.

Christine then realized it was time to chase her dream of owning a dance studio of her own and opened Jazz Hands Dance Academy in August of 2015 in 1 spare room of a karate school. Now, Jazz Hands Dance Academy operates 3 studio spaces, has won numerous awards, has been named a “Hope Studio” by Dancers Against Cancer, and has performed in Walt Disney World and at Philadelphia Phillies games.

Christine has also earned her certification in Barre Above and is an active member of the Dance Studio Owners Association, International Dance Entrepreneurs Association, and Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey. Christine is looking to continue growing and expanding Jazz Hands Dance Academy and building her brand as the best preschool age dance program while inspiring children to believe in themselves and chase after their dreams.

Christine and her husband Brad have several real estate and business investments and continue to build their portfolio. In Christine’s spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband Brad and their dog Blaze talking about their dreams and goals, working out, and going to their vacation home at the Jersey Shore.
