Welcome to Christina's Corner Dance! I hope you don't mind that I am starting with a blog while my new site, www.christinascornerdance.com is being built. Look for that in the upcoming months.
After I sold the Academy of Dance Performance a little over two years ago, I have been dying to jump back in the game. Now that Andelun is three and ready to start learning dance, I could not help but talk my husband into letting me transform our unfinished basement into a studio. Since I'm already teaching my daughter, I figured I may as well invite you to send your kids my way also.
As the mother of two beautiful girls, I understand more than ever the importance of teaching clean dance with modest costumes. More than that, because I've been in the dance world since three, I understand that not all studios and not all teachers are equal. I specialize in teaching correct technique while having fun. Your son or daughter will leave every class a better dancer with their self-esteem in tact.
Although may of the classes I've got scheduled are for those ages 3-10, I'd love to teach your older kids as well. Let me know what you'd like to see on the schedule, and I'll see if I can make it happen. Also, if your daughter needs a little extra personal help or needs a dance choreographed, feel free to ask. I teach privates, and choreograph extensively. I can take your dancer to the next level.
I look forward to starting on August 31, 2009. Give me a call to sign up. I'm excited to get going.
About Me
- Christina Lloyd
- I started dancing at the age of three. As a child I performed all over Europe and the US with the Oquirrh Mountain Cloggers. I studied tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, turning techniques, contemporary, and character dance. I danced on the top teams at my studio, served as dance mistress in HS, and choreographed extensively. I later danced with the UVSC ballroom team where we took first at the International Blackpool Competition. Later, I transferred to BYU where I became the only dancer to make the top team during my first audition. I was honored with the Pardoe Dance Scholarship which is given to only one girl per year, and was also awarded "Most Outstanding Dancer" by the BYU faculty. I founded a dance studio where I taught and directed for over seven years before I had my first daughter and sold the studio to make more time for family. I'm happy to be teaching again in my home where I can strike a healthy balance of work and family.
