Chris T., Neighbor

Want to tap? Christa teaches group and private tap lessons for adults and kids at various North Shore venues. Most recently, she ran the tap program at Revive Dance Xchange dance in Beverly, MA, and is now teaching TEEN recreational tap and ADULT recreational tap at Dance Enthusiasm in #Salem on Thursdays! More info: http://www.danceenthusiasm.org/contact/. She’s also available for classes wherever students want to hold them. Whether you've never put on a pair of tap shoes or you want to get back into tap, whether you're 8 or 80, tap instructor Christa knows you can do it!

Christa has been dancing since age six, and while she has danced in studio and on stage in ballet and en pointe, jazz, and just about every other form of dance you can think of, tap has always been her passion. That grew into a love of musical theater, and Christa has been blessed to dance in productions of shows from Anything Goes to Sweet Charity. She got her first taste of teaching in the Levittown Public Schools Dance and Gymnastics program.

A multi-year alumnus of Dance Olympus in NY, Beantown Tapfest in Boston, and many other conventions, she studied extensively under Julia Boynton and took classes with Michelle Dorrance (founder and artistic director of Dorrance Dance) and Josh Hilberman before moving to the North Shore and jumping back into instruction.

At Revive Dance Xchange, she taught advanced beginner tap and fast intermediate tap to kids, teens, and grownups, and performed and competed over multiple years as part of the award-winning Company Revive.

Christa is hoping to get her teacher certification by 2019.

Why learn TAP? For fun, for fitness, for auditions, or because you love musicals as much as Christa does - there are as many reasons to take tap classes as there are people who tap!
