About your hosts
Although she was a successful competitor at National level, by the time she was 19 Chris knew she wanted to be a teacher and in 1980 took the first of her many professional teaching qualifications. In 1981 she moved to Cornwall and started her own school in Falmouth. As an International and Championship adjudicator, Chris has judged as far afield as Australia and was an examiner for 10 years before resigning to concentrate her energy on her school. Christine has been running The Gemini Dance studios since 1981, she has trained people from Beginners to Competitors and also trains other dance professionals. Christine started The Gemini Dance Studios in 1981 having moved to Cornwall from Manchester. She was born and raised in a dancing family – Christine’s parents were North of England Ballroom Champions in the 1950s and ran a very successful dance school in Manchester for over 30 years. Christine had a successful dancing career as a competitor and medalist from the age of 5, until taking the first of her professional dance qualifications at the age of 20.
