Reganne danced as a student with SonDance for 13 years. She is attending York County Community College as a Business Administration major. "What I love about dance is that no matter how I feel, when I dance it immediately makes me feel okay. My favorite thing about SonDance is the feeling of community. The teachers care for each and every dancer in a way that is so genuine and loving. The students all come from different backgrounds and schools, but treat each other with such kindness and respect. Everyone is so different at SonDance, but we are all brought together by our love of God and passion for dance, and that makes us all a family. "  The students see a lot of Reganne, as she assists with many classes, and is a wonderful part of the studio!

Christine began her dancing career at the age of 5 at a small studio in MA. Her passion and love for dance was immediate and she continued to grow- learning new genres and taking as many classes as her parents would allow. She began dancing competitively at 11 years old in various styles including jazz, tap, lyrical, ballet, hip hop and contemporary. While in college working towards her degree in Occupational Therapy, she went back and taught dance at a local studio in MA where she taught all techniques until 2014 when her oldest was born. Of all the styles she’s been trained in, tap and jazz are her two favorites to teach and perform! Christine took a break from teaching with two young kids at home and Christine and SonDance are very excited to have her back in the studio!
