Christina has been interested in Dance ever since she saw a dance performance as a Toddler. She started taking Ballet classes very young and was 11 years old when she won 2nd prize at the Paris opera. She visited several dance camps in Paris before she enrolled in the dance boarding school “Centre de Danse International Rosella Hightower” in Cannes, at 14 years old, where she danced alongside the famous Ballerina Rosella Hightower for 3 years. In her training, she learned various dance styles, including Jazz, Contemporary, HipHop, Spanish and Russian Dance and was able to take classes in Mime, Yoga and Art, Ballet and Music History.
Christina started teaching for one year in France before she moved to Dublin and danced for one season in the Joan Davis Company, where she then created ‘Dance for the West’, a non-profit association inviting professional dancers to Ireland for Workshops. Interested in teaching, Christina taught in local art centres in Tuam, Clifden and Galway and passed her teaching examination at the Royal Academy of Dance. She opened the ‘Galway Dance Centre’, inspired to connect with other dancers and spread her passion in Dance to others. With her never-ending enjoyment in further improving her dancing, Christina learned Irish Dance in Galway and Salsa as well as Latin Dance during her frequent trips to Cuba.

Sara
Sara started Irish dancing at the age of 13 at the only place in Madrid that offered something similar to her beloved Lord of the Dance. She fell in love with the different styles and rhythms of the dance and a few years later moved to Cork to learn the social side of Irish dance with set dancing, and having so much fun in the process! Returning to Spain, she and her dancing colleagues created a troupe called “Irish Treble”, developing a show that included several aspects of Irish dance (traditional, show-style, fusion with other dances…). She also started teaching and found so much joy in it. Her teaching style is fun-based, includes a variety of dancing content and focuses on the beauty of dancing without losing your smile.
