Learn with Christine at the Online School

Maybe you feel confident leading but hesitate when following. Maybe you dance both roles and want smoother transitions, better technique or more freedom to express yourself.

From organised courses, to pathways to clear problem solving classes. Two new classes this week are up for you to take already:

You’ve been watching these moves on social media, demos and in socials. And now you can learn them too!

The double rotisserie cambré, or the dolphin flip flop. Learn this cool move, adapt it to yourself and start using Christine’s signature move in socials.
