 Christina Leonard
has been dancing for 21 years and has extensive training in Ballet, Character, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, and Lyrical. Her dance training and her knowledge as a teacher comes mostly from her mother, Donna Leonard, the owner and Artistic Director of Center Stage Dance Studio in Melrose. Christina also had the good fortune of studying with Miranda Sugarman when she was younger. She spent six years dancing with Melrose Youth Ballet as both a soloist and a member of the corps de ballet from 1997-2003. In 2006 she was named Assistant Director in Melrose Youth Ballet's production of The Nutcracker. She has been teaching dance for seven years, and in 2006 was choreographer of Carousel, for Temple Beth Avodah in Newton. She holds a B.S. in Communication from Boston University and is currently headed back to school for Nursing. Christina is thrilled to return for her second summer with TWDC. She will continue to follow her teaching philosophy of working creatively with students while emphasizing overall dance education.
