“Christopher Michael was one of the most inspiring directors I’ve ever had. He was always so uplifting and awesome to work with. He taught me lots of things about musical theater techniques, and was very encouraging. He has inspired me to really reach for my goals. I'm very excited to see what he does next!"
testimonials
Charlie Munday (Mentor)
“He is gentle with kids but knows when to turn on his authority and immediately demand their attention, he was respected and loved by all the students -- his assistance in demanding the room of students and keeping them in line and focused was integral to the success of the production. His choreography was innovative, fresh and captivated the audience - he is excellent at taking a group of students with varied skilled level and showing everyone's best, allowing everyone to perform with vigour and excitement while still spotlighting more talented dancers."

"I had the privilege of being able to have Chris choreograph a duet for me and my partner this competition season. Chris is an amazing teacher/choreographer that ensured me and my partners comfortability. Part of this included asking us our strengths/favorite moves to make sure we're comfortable performing this dance. He always had motivation for us, amazing advice, and lifted us up. He pushed us to do better everyday. "
