Chriscenia
Choreographer
“There are shortcuts to happiness and DANCE is one of them”
Dance was an escape for me into the new world of peace and happiness. I joined my first professional group in 2013 and the flame kept burning ever since. I got opportunities to perform all over India. As well as represent India on international stages.
I began to teach with a motive to spread happiness and touch the lives of others. I conducted classes not only in India but also in London. I used to teach voluntarily at ARC Hounslow in 2019 and currently I am working as a dance instructor at Blue Ocean Waves.
I will continue spreading the joy of dancing and never letting the flame fade away
