Christie Stong: Director
Tiffany's Dance Academy Costa Mesa -
Christie began dancing at the age of three with
New West Ballet School in Southern California under the professional
direction of Eugenia Keefer. Here, Christie gained her love and
passion for ballet while at the same time venturing into other
styles of dance including jazz, tap, modern, and hip-hop.
Dancing throughout high school, Christie became
dance captain on the Varsity dance team and received the Dancer of
the Year award and scholarship. Christie recently graduated Magna
Cum Laude from the University of California Irvine, where she
continued her dance training in addition to receiving a B.A. in
Sociology and a minor in Business Management. During her studies at
UCI, she was accepted into the Education Abroad Program and studied
for a year at the University of New South Wales in Sydney,
Australia.
Christie brings with her over 20 years of dance
and performance experience. She has performed roles including
Swanhilda in Coppelia as well as Clara, Doll, Corps de Ballet,
Russian, Arabian and Marzipan variations in The Nutcracker with New
West Ballet.
Christieʼs love for dance and teaching children
translates into a classroom environment that is both energetic and
educational. She is looking forward to another great season with
Tiffanyʼs Dance Academy.
