Christine began performing professionally in 1975. Her dance experience comes from a diverse background including ballet, jazz, varied styles of belly dance, flamenco, and her Greek heritage. Her belly dance career began in the early 1970's with the world renowned Burt Balladine as her teacher. She has performed all over the country and in the San Francisco Bay Area where she lived until 1987. Christine's fluid, sensual and joyful style conveys the love of her art as she entices, energizes and draws in her audience. This is equally expressed in her teaching as she completely supports her students in their process and personal style. While teaching eclectic techniques, Diana encourages and promotes "feeling and connection to oneself through the dance experience".

Kellie began taking pole dancing lessons in 2004 while in her home state of Virginia, and after the very first class she was hooked.

Kellie moved to the Lake Tahoe area in the summer of 2007 and is thrilled to now be instructing others in this new fitness related form of dance. She can't wait to pass along her love of pole dancing to her students!
