Hi there! I'm Christina. With over 20 years of experience in ballet and 12 years dancing for the Estonian National Ballet, I now want to pass on everything I've learned to all the ballet enthusiasts out there. My goal is to build an educational, supportive and healthy community of students.
WHAT MY DANCERS ARE SAYING
''Cristina is a wonderful teacher. She is very thorough, observant, patient, kind and highly professional. I enjoy her classes enormously. She makes me give my maximum and the progress is noticeable even after a short time. I feel most lucky to have found a teacher like Cristina!''
- U. Smithson
''''''I love Ms Cristina's classes! We have been working on placement and she figured out where I'm struggling in the first few minutes of our class! . She gives me very unique corrections that help me with the issues I'm working on. The classes are always fun and it feels like they end before I know it! I'm excited to keep working with her since I feel like I'm already improving.''
- L. Khaled
"I had a couple classes with Cristina both online and face to face in a regular studio and I loved both. As an adult dancer, I loved that she was paying attention to us and gently pushing us with precise feedback when she would notice wrong technique. Her class brought me so much joy as I felt like I would be able to improve and dance better with time. And she does all of this with a smile and kindness to top it all.''
- Anaïs
"Cristina's class is a very good mix between an environment of self-work, where you do what you need that day, and an environment of active growth with very smart and personal corrections. It was fun and dancy, she is a kind and positive teacher who brings a good atmosphere.''
- L. Scherer ( Estonian National Ballet )
"Cristina's classes are very enjoyable and uplifting! They are very well structured and are great for getting me ready for a day of rehearsals. Cristina is a very passionate teacher with a great eye who always gives valuable corrections. Her classes are challenging yet fun, a perfect combination!''
- B. Domingues ( Estonian National Ballet )
'' It’s been few months, and already my posture has improved drastically, I’m more flexible and I’ve discovered myself stretching in ballet moves even when doing my everyday tasks and little Cristina’s voice reminding me to stand straight."
- K. Jansons
I started ballet in a local dance studio at the age of 9 and joined Tallinn Ballet School when I was 10. After graduating, I joined the Estonian National Ballet. During my time at the company, I was very lucky to dance the whole well-known classical repertoire, some amazing newer ballets such as Manon, Onegin and Serenade and also a few great contemporary pieces.
I left the company in 2023 to pursue a completely different career path. However I quickly found out that I want to be a part of the dance world, just on the other side of the studio. I've always had a passion for teaching so I decided to take it on full time. And I've never been happier.
I teach in a few local ballet studios in Tallinn, I also try to give company class at the Estonian National Ballet at least once a month, I have my wonderful students with Face the barre and I'll be launching a complete beginners online course very soon!
I offer coaching for all levels, from beginners to advanced dancers, including pre-professional and professional dancers.
You will need a device with a camera (computer, tablet, or smartphone), a stable internet connection, a space to dance and a ballet barre or a sturdy chair for support.
