My 16 yo took classes in acrobatic dance. She loved it! Thanks so much! We stopped taking them because of scheduling. My daughter was too busy to continue classes, but we’d recommend Chrystie to everyone else.

Chrystie is a kind, patient, and fun teacher! My 7.5 year old loves learning basic gymnastics online with her! Highly recommend.

I’m an adult student and have always had a dream to learn how to dance. I wanted to start with the basics “step-by-step”. Ms. Chrystie does exactly this, she breaks down everything to the bare bones to help me build my skills and confidence. She’s very patient, is able to give great explanations on how to do new moves, and is able to answer any question you may have in details. I love how much she loves her job and was super happy she spent longer lesson time with me because we were having so much fun! I can’t wait to continue lessons with her.
