Christina Habib

  • Favourite Ballet: Don Quixote - 1983 filming with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Cynthia Harvey

  • Classes Taught: Pre-Intermediate, Beginner Pointe

After enrolling in dance classes at a young age, Christina quickly fell in love with classical ballet, leading to a 16-year career as a professional dancer with Ballet Magnificat in Jackson, Mississippi. She had the privilege of performing in over 15 original classical and contemporary works whilst traveling extensively stateside and abroad.

Christina's early training was in the Russian Vaganova Method, which led to opportunities to assist and then teach classes of students whilst still performing. She moved to Cambridge in 2018 and immediately began teaching at 2 local dance studios as well as receiving her registered teacher status with the Royal Academy of Dance. In 2022, Christina started teaching for CUBC and has enjoyed choreographing for the 2023 Coppélia and 2024 Cinderella performances.
