About
Hi, I'm Christie-lee, welcome to Dance Society.
I believe everyone can dance with the right guidance and a little encouragement.
Here, it’s all about creating a space where you can relax, be yourself, and enjoy the process without any pressure. Every class is designed to help you build confidence, connect with others, and, most importantly, have a great time. Come along, give it a go, and see how dance can bring a little more joy into your life!
My love for dance began when I was just 3 years old, training in ballet, jazz, physical culture, 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 33 years of joy, and I’m incredibly grateful to share that joy with others.
I can’t wait to dance with you!
