Christine Morano: Coaching

Christine Morano has coached throughout the United States since 2009. Christine uses her education in biology and anatomy to help fuel her understanding and teachings. She seeks to meet her students where they are, teach and verbalize in multiple ways, and listens with compassion to understand any questions so she may fully think out the best and/or alternative solution. She uses progressions and drills to make sure her students are ready to succeed at skills they are working toward. Morano has experience in multiple dance styles, thrives on collaborative work, and excels at movement & choreographic education to almost any age. She is compassionate and dedicated, with a constant eagerness to grow as an artist, educator, athlete, and human being.

Christine is available for workshops, intensives, & retreats worldwide.

"Christine is truly an incredible coach. There aren’t many coaches out there that are as kind, educated, patient, and understanding as her. When taking classes with her I’ve only ever felt encouraged, believed in, and like I was truly being pushed to my full potential."
