With a strong background and knowledge of the entertainment industry, and after teaching for more than 20 years, in 2005 Chris transitioned to the roles of Agent, Manager, Adjudicator and Producer of Dance-related media, events and competitions. Chris acted as the exclusive Australian Casting Agent for Ringling Bros & Barnum Bailey Circus (USA) for several years and also managed a select group of talented children and adults working in the industry. She has regularly co-ordinated nation-wide workshops for studios with top Celebrity Choreographers from both Australia and the USA.

From 2005 to 2015, Chris sponsored US-based Celebrity Choreographers to teach in Australia with a view to pushing the envelope of keeping Australian choreographic content very current and competitive within the international environment. This positively influenced the standard of local choreography and brought our national understanding of current trends to a higher level. Chris has also undertaken extensive promotion and booking of numerous Australian Celebrity Choreographers’ tours and workshops with studios across the country.

Trained and qualified in Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Tap, National Character, Vocal Production, Modelling and Drama, Chris is well-known for her ability to extend her students’ technical competency in record time. Her choreography was known for its intricate and highly technical elements. Numerous soloists and troupes gained exceptional exam and competition results over many years under Chris’s tuition. She studied multiple syllabi in dance – RAD (Royal Academy of Dance), BBO (British Ballet Organization), BAL (Ballet Australia Limited), BDA (British Dance Association) and CDA (Contemporary Dance Association – Australia). From this extensive understanding of training methods, she also created her own syllabus in advanced jazz and modern techniques.
