After exploring many dance genres under the tutelage of a retired Vaudeville performer, Ms. Christina-Price found herself in the classical ballet world. She earned an apprenticeship with the Stuttgart Ballet and performed with the National Ballet of Iran, Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal and McGill Danse.
After returning to the States, she directed Roberson School of Ballet, Binghamton, NY, and founded Ballet Arts Theatre and Aspire Dance Company, Endicott, NY. In 1983 she attended McGill University and twenty five years later she received a BA in Dance from Empire State College. She has teacher certification in DanceAbility and loves to choreograph inclusive pieces for disabled and no-disabled dancers.
Tina continues her studies with Anne Green Gilbert, founder of the Brain Dance and is a recent graduate of Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion Institute. She is certified through Dance Education Laboratory (92NY/DEL) Teachers Certificate and Facilitators in Training programs. Her work with students received 92NY/DEL Lab School designation. Incorporating these methods has enriched her repertoire. For that, she is deeply grateful!
