Front Office Manager/Specialist

Arthur Murray has been like a second home to Kristine. Her love of dance started when she first walked into an Arthur Murray Studio and learned her first dance steps at the age of 13. She's been hooked ever since. She competed for her University receiving top marks and eventually decided to return to her studio and share her passion of dancing with others. She's competed professionally with her old dance partner in the Future Champion Competition at the 2008 Manhattan Dance-O-Rama as a finalist and is hoping to compete again this year. Kristine takes pleasure in teaching new students the joys of dancing by making it fun, easy, and enjoyable for everyone! Her high energy and laughter makes anyone want to burn it up on the dance floor.
Kristine is also a Certified Core Rhythm instructor trained by its creator Julia and Bob Powers and is excited to bring those classes to the studios as well.
