Born and raised on the Central Coast beaches of NSW, Chris began a lifelong passion and relationship with the world of Entertainment at a very early age. After extensive training locally and overseas, Chris opened her first dance studio at age 19 and went on to direct successful students to International Careers in Dance & Musical Theatre with entertainment giants such as Disney, Universal Studios, Ringling Bros & Barnum Bailey Circus, various Cruise companies and more.
Chris has a Diploma in Business Studies, has studied Event Management by correspondence and recently converted her Bachelor of Arts (Creative Arts major) to further her digital Marketing studies. Chris also has held an Entertainment Industry Representative’s Licence since 2010.
With a strong background and knowledge of the entertainment industry, Chris is excited for the future of DanceLife and DanceLife Unite. 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 manages a select group of talented Children and Adults working in the industry.
