“Brett asked me, jokingly, if I had fun today, and I said it was one of the best days of my life! Today was such a gift to share Amelia’s birthday with our friends that are family, and Christina Patelidas, not only my favorite dance teacher but someone I’ve always loved and respected. We had an amazing time at her studio and I couldn’t think of a more special place to have Amelia’s first real party! What a gift you are Christina to all of the children you guide through learning about faith, life, and dance! Some of you may recall that David also took dance with her ♥️ and it happens to be his birthday weekend… and most of you don’t know Christina hosted me at her dance studio when I was 21 for my (first and little) friends and family art show ♥️ so yes, a full circle, special first, real birthday party, with my little family was a dream come true! #princessesandpajamas”

“Ms. Christina, I just wanted to say Thank You! Thank you for pouring into your dance students. Thank you for your love, encouragement and for the example you set in teaching them not only the love of dance, but more importantly, the love of Jesus. More personal, thank you for all you mean to my daughter. I love that the studio is her favorite place to be, sometimes 5 days a week! We love you!”

“I got to see the older dancers interact with the younger dancers backstage before the show. It’s one of my favorite parts of having my 4 year old at your studio. They are such positive, kind role models for our little ones. Each one stepped up to help when needed and knew every single younger dancer’s name. I also appreciated how kind the older dancers were to each other. They only served to bring each other up. When one was concerned about something, another came along to lift them up. They are really practicing the kindness and community you teach about, Christina!”

Stiles Robinson’s Mother 
“This past year I have had the chance to see first hand the gift Christina Patelidas is to our youth through sharing her gift of teaching dance and theater. I admire her so much for the work she does in pouring into the young men and women in her dance studio. She isn't just teaching our youth to dance she is teaching them how to love and respect each other and spread kindness. Stiles joined her dance company this past year and it is a highlight of her week to be in the presence of Christina. She is a beautiful soul inside and out. She does so much for our community and we appreciate her so much!"

“We went on vacation with another family last week. Ansley went down with them a couple of days before the rest of us with the other family with the other little girls in the group. They said she got really homesick. Did she miss her parents? Nope! They said she just keep going on and on about Christina and missing a place called Christina’s Dance World while on vacation ”
