Christie Burkholder is a career movement educator. From a young age, she discovered profound joy in sharing technique and creating choreography rather than performing on stage. This sparked a drive like no other to bring the best to the studio and each individual student.

Christie has achieved many teaching designations through organizations such as Dance Masters of America, American Tap Dance Institute, International Dance Teaching Standards, Acrobatic Arts, Body Harmonics (Pilates), Coaching Association of Canada (NCCP), USA Gymnastics, Positive Coaching Alliance and Progressive Ballet Technique. She continues to take courses and further her professional development.

Christie is dedicated to developing and training students in a healthy way. She encourages them to work hard, to dig deep and develop their grit through challenges within the dance framework while building a strong technical foundation and solid teamwork.

Christie always looks to bring out the best in each student. She challenges them to be more than what they can imagine. Through this process students develop essential life skills. Dedication, confidence, self regulation, self awareness, perseverance and grit will be fostered in all of her classes and carried with each student through out life.

“Art, fitness and grit!

Building foundations in life through dance.”
