About Chris and Dance
Chris began dancing at the age of eight, starting
with Scottish Country Dancing and then moving on
to Highland Dance. In these early years, Chris
achieved significant success, winning numerous
competitions across the London area and performing
the traditional Highland Sword Dance accompanied
by a piper at various events in the London area.
As a young teenager, Chris expanded into ballroom
and Latin dance, quickly advancing through the
medal ranks and earning up to a Gold Bar. By the
age of 19, Chris turned professional, earning
teaching qualifications from both the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) and the International Dance Masters Association (IDMA now IDTA) in both ballroom and Latin disciplines earning distinction. During this time, Chris also taught at the renowned Norman Darvill School of Dance in High Wycombe.
Beyond ballroom and Latin dance, Chris has broadened his expertise by earning certifications in ice dance and pair skating. He also plays piano and keyboards.
Recently he had update training from world professional finalists in both
standard ballroom and Latin. He has also received top-tier training and benefited from instruction by numerous accomplished competitive dancers.
