My love for dance began when I was just 3 years old, training in ballet, jazz, physical culture, musical thatre hip hop and contemporary. At 17 I had the opportunity to teach which I absolutely loved for 8 years. In 2009, I was accepted into a year long full time dance course which was leading me towards a professional dance career.

​

I decided at the end of the course that my heart wasn't in it. I went back to working full time and teaching on the side. For a time, life took me away from the studio completely and I felt like something was missing. I felt apart of me had died.

 

In 2020, a friend encouraged me to return to teaching and I knew I wanted to create something different. Recognising a lack of adult dance classes in my area, I began weekly classes that led to the creation of Sip & Dance in May 2021. That idea has since expanded into a variety of offerings and led to the rebrand of my business to Dance Society by Christie-Lee.

​

To me, dance is so much more than just movement - it’s transformative, healing and euphoric.

 

It’s brought me 34 years of joy and I’m incredibly grateful to share that joy with others.  

​

I can’t wait to dance with you!
